Re: SQL: set delete

Is this embedded SQL? You could use some error handling to start the DELETE
after the locked record. The WHENEVER statement lets you continue with the
next statement, or go to some label.

I'm executing this SQL statement within my RPG program:

Delete from TOP001 where TOSTAT = 'RT'

TOP001 contains "follow-up" records; they're deleted every morning and new
ones are added based on some application logic.  When the program runs, it's
possible that a user might have a record locked while doing their tracing
and follow-up; a locked record tanks the program with an SQL0913 error.  Is
there a way I can force the set delete to complete in spite of record lock
errors (even though such a "capability" is actually undesirable)?

The application doesn't care if all the record(s) don't get deleted; they'll
be status'ed as closed and deleted the next day.  If there's no easy way to
make the set delete work, I'll do something else and delete on a
record-by-record basis (which will allow me to skip locked records).

Thanks,
