Hello
I run code in SAS and save the resulted data set in a permanent library.
I receive an error
ERROR: A lock is not available for R_R.PANEL_CS_ALL_833_703_860.DATA.
ERROR: Lock held by process 31216.
How can I know-
Who (Which user/person) using this data set that caused my program to fail?
With the process id you can check in OS who/what process it is.
If you're on a UNIX system, use the ps command.
