Maybe OVRDBF WAITRCD(numsec)? Same parm is also on the CRTPF command.

I can't recall ever seeing this happen before, but we all know that
for every case when something like this gets reported, there's
probably several that don't.

I have this vague memory that there's something I can do about this
situation, to keep it from locking up a user's server job, but I can't
remember what.

It's a record lock, of course. And no, I no longer have a joblog to
excerpt.

Isn't there either a way to have a program wait indefinitely for a
record lock, or a way to have it catch the exception when a lock wait
times out?
