I use ClearCase. How can I find out who's checked out a given file?

That is not the answer i'm looking for .. I want to know in anyof the view(s) (view(s) might have been created from different branches) the particular file is checkout

That's what lsco does, what the man page of lsco says for the default option is:"The listing includes all checkouts for the specified elements,including checkouts made in any view by any user". You can provide -long option to get also view to which the element was checkedout

That kind of request is often prompted when you try to rmname (DEL) a file through the GUI.
If the file is checked-out in any other branch or any other view... the GUI will refuse to rmname the file!
To quickly see where the file is checked-out, try a
ct lsvtree myFile
and look (or grep) for "CHECKEDOUT" string.
You will se one or several line like:
path\to\myFile@@\main\aBranch\CHECKEDOUT view "aViewTag"
But remember: you can also force a rmname through the CLI (Command-Line Interface) cleartool.
Assuming you are in the correct path of the file:
cleartool co -nc .
cleartool rmname -force myFile
cleartool ci -nc .
the -force option (not available through GUI) will allow you to rmname your file even if it is already checked-out in another view/branch.
