I'm trying to have a program detect if a record is locked.  If the program
does find that the record it's trying to read is locked, it will wait 10
seconds before retrying to  read the same record from the file.

Will placing the ITER operation accomplish this task in the code below?
Should it wait 15 seconds then SETLL on the record it was trying to read
then ITER?

Is there an easier alternative for checking for locked records?

Thanks,

Frank

           KeyFld1 = %DEC(Field1:3:0);
           KeyFld2 = %DEC(Field2:7:0);

           // Read CUSTOMER File
           SETLL Custkey Customer;
           DOU %EOF(Customer);
           READ(E) Customer;

           // Record Locked
           IF %ERROR;

                // Record IS Locked
      IF %STATUS = RecordLocked;
                *WAIT 15 SECONDS
      ITER;
                ENDIF;

           ENDIF;

           ENDDO;
