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

[CWilt@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

Mike,

That doesn't help him.

He wants to be able to unlock the record from the program locking it.

WAITRCD affects how long some other program will wait for a locked record.
It has no effect on the program locking the record.
