Can anyone help me with the macro(s?) needed to display the accessors of a
particular file?
I would especially be interested in determining the FLOCK holder.
 
I ended up doing a START RECOVERY on a 957 today.  I got a call.  After
attempting to reset ports
and ABORTJOB on a couple of different sessions, the users were still unable to
connect to the
system.  I reset the Ldevs and the sessions were still logged on.
 
GLANCE told me the process was IMPeded.  I did a Process - File Trace to
identify the locked file.
Out of GLANCE and into MPEX...  A 'LISTF filename,ACCESS' never responded.  I
eventually tried to
ABORT MPEX with no luck.  I then had to reset my own DTC port (A Ctrl-K did not
return me to the
DTC> prompt.)
 
I then decided to try GLANCE again, and GLANCE displayed the headings and then
hung up.  After
another failed ABORT.  I reset my port again.  This time I logged in VT and
tried an MPE LISTF of
the file (-3).  It showed 7 Read/7 Write.
 
At this point it would have been really nice to identify the lock holder and
ABORT them.  However,
it appeared that something else was hung up (maybe the Directory
SIR(Lock/Latch)) and the system
more or less locked up.
 
Although I had placed a call to the HPRC, they did not get back to me before I
had to re-boot.
 
Can any of you MPE/iX 'internals' knowledgeable people help me out?
