RE: How to unlock a record in an interactive job after'x'amountoftime has passed

<sigh>

Original message:

   Is there a way from a RPGLE interactive program
   to track how long it has a record locked in
   update and after a certain amount of time has
   elapsed, gracefully unlock the record. Then the
   interactive program would show some info
   message to inform the User that they will need
   to retrieve the transaction again.

I suppose you could read it either one of two ways, but I look at "track how
long *it* has a record locked in update", with *it* pointing to the
interactive program having the record locked.  "Then the (same) interactive
program would show some info message..."  Nothing in the post suggests that
the author is waiting for a locked record, just that he wants to prevent a
record from being locked when the user leaves to go to lunch, or somesuch.

So, how 'bout it, Andy?  Which is it?
