Re: Chain(e) hangs

The only solution I have ever found is to find the program(s) that get a record for update followed by an EXFMT and change that process so that getting the record is a read-only, no lock.

Then, when that user gets back from lunch and presses the Enter key, do another read(locked), and update. Also, don't forget to check to see if another user has changed the data in the meantime. "Last one wins" is a tough glitch to find and fix two years from now.

I've changed my job to DFTWAIT(1) yet when I run a program it hangs on a "chain(e)" statement if I have that specific record locked on another session. We are on v7r1 tr9.
