How to kill the process when the file is locked?
I was trying to read the file to create a table in SAS and I got error as follows while I read.
Code:
 
Resource is write-locked by another user.  File 
=/usr/sas/sas_config/Lev1/SASApp/StoredProcessServ​er/Logs/SASApp_STPServer_2015-09-29_tmp_18208.log.  System Error Code = 
0.
ERROR: File is in use, /usr/sas/sas_config/Lev1/SASApp/StoredProcessServe​r/Logs/SASApp_STPServer__2015-09-29_tmp_18208.log

I've closed this file before I read the file and I'm not sure why I'm getting this error.

How to overcome this error? How to check which process is responsible for the lock?
