Re: Waiting on a record lock check

Hi Dave -

I have a routine to check to see if a record is locked in a file. It
works but takes about 30 seconds before it returns with the results that
the record is locked. Is there anything that I can do, either in the RPG
or CL program that calls the RPG to get a faster determination that the
record is locked? Thanks.

The WAITRCD parameter is your friend. You can change the default for
the file with CHGPF or CHGLF. You can also use WAITRCD on OVRDBF to
make a change effective only while the override is in effect.

Note that changing WAITRCD for a physical file does not affect any
logical files over it.
