RE: "Record in use" message & resulting mess

And that's why we have commitment control.

Oh sorry, forgot, this is BPCS!

It's not necessarily either one's fault - if the terminal goes down in the
middle of receiving, for instance, when somebody decides ram a forklift into
the power line, the terminal will die, the program won't complete it's
processing on tat record, adn the PO will forever say "In use" until it's
repaired.....causing issues when somebody else maintains it, or whatever.

Call me old-fashioned but,
if an integrated software package is allowing 2 users to update the same
record,
is it the 'dumb users' fault or is it the 'less than genius developer's
'fault ?
Whenever I run into this problem ( on modified code, usually), I try to
correct the
offending program(s), not the offending user.
This IS the year 2001 and the AS/400 IS a sophisticated machine.
