Re: Please refresh my memory: can I, in RPG, have a file read fail immediately and recoverably on a locked record?

INFDS status field?

Error indicator on the READ?

. . . Or an (E) extender

Except (1) I'd rather leave it as a Cycle program, with the file being run through as a Primary File, than convert it to use an explicit READ, and (2) the lock wait timeout is still quite long, whereas (because it's a low-priority update) I want it to fail immediately and move on to the next record.

It appears that I could take care of (2) by wrapping the RPG program in a CL program with an OVRDBF WAITRCD(*IMMED), but is there some other way that's simply slipped my mind?
