How do we know who locked the dataset?

Hi all,

hope all doing well.

I have one query!!
When I try to open a dataset in edit mode, it says 'dataset is in use'. So, Can anyone tell me how to check who locked the particular dataset?

Hope I am clear with my question.

Thanks,
Prakash Reddy.

After you got that message and pressed Help, what did that tell you?

Thanks Superk for your prompt response. but help only shows that the dataset is locked by another user, please try after some time.

I found the solution:

TSO command: TSO WHOHAS <dataset name>

Thanks,
Prakash Reddy.

What happens if you press HELP again?

By the way - WHOHAS is not a TSO command.

Hello,

If you press F1 two times, you will see who has the file. The first F1 gives the info that the file is locked. The second F1 shows who has it locked. Typing "help" is the same as pressing F1.

U can also type ISRDDN E in front of that dataset in the 3.4 panel.

this way also it l show which user id is holding the dataset...
