RE: How to unlock a record in an interactive job after 'x'amounto ftime has passed

I beg to differ Bob,

"Is there a way from a RPGLE interactive program to track how long it has a
record locked in update and after a certain amount of time has elapsed,
gracefully unlock the record. Then the interactive program would show some
info message to inform the User that they will need to retrieve the
transaction again."

To do what he wants, the interactive program display needs to time out at
which time his program can unlock the record and show the message.
