Tip #27 - Making a menu entry to remove lockfiles

Make a menu item for deleting lockfiles it should look like this:
UNIX version
/fp/ddir - -l

It will ask you for a filename just pick it and press enter.
DOS Verison
/fp/dprodir - -l

Using Qualifiers just add -mq or -md sss to indicate the qualifier.

Stepped on SOAP BOX
Never use the ? to reset lockfiles or have customer use ? to reset
lockfiles.

Or of course, the menu items could list each filename and do the
entire
project at once.

$PFPROG/fp/ddir file1 -l
$PFPROG/fp/ddir file2 -l
etc.

If the PFQUAL is set the above script for all would apply to
qualified
data sets. Easy to work all file sets without additional menus.

One stroke does all...
