Re: locked record

When I originally wrote my routine, I was going to use the same approach
(justing checking the PSDS) but there was some reason (which I can no
longer remember) why I converted to use the message queue.

I may simply have been that the positions in the PSDS are intended to be
"free form data" and not guarenteed to always be there and never change...
but like I said, I don't remember.

After waiting 30 seconds for a record lock to fail, the time my routine
took was insignificant to me :)
