Does anyone use the checklock.c routine provided by SI to
check if they can access a file for read or write access?
 
Can it be a useful tool to control access to a file in
an application which runs both batch jobs and interactive
jobs which may try and access the same files?
 
 
I am using SAS6.12 under Solaris.
