With the release of JMP 16 the Get Edit Lock message now returns a list as suggested above.

Re: Test if data table is locked

 Thanks gz. I like the kludge, but JMP should still fix the unexpected behavior.

Re: Test if data table is locked

I have a kludge work around. 

 

dt = current data table();
lock=0;

show(lock);
