A frequently reported problem with the USAS/USPS SOAP services, is the problems they can cause for processing on the OpenVMS system due to file locking. For example, a USPS user can not run "SAVEPAY" or CHKUPD because a Kiosk SOAP session has a file locked. Or, a USAS user can not run ADJUST because a USAS Web user has the ACCT file locked.
