RE: Locked record

["Joe Giusto" <jgiusto@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It depends on the WAITRCD attrib of the file or can be overridden on OVRDBF.
I think the standard shipped version of the CRTPF makes it 2 minutes.  If it
is expected that this will occur often, it is good to change the WAITRCD
time so the use don't have to sit there so long wondering what's happening
(or not happening).  Some of them just X out of the emulation window
thinking PC must be locked up or something.  But that's a rant for another
topic.  :)

How long does a read wait on a lock, or does it return immediately?

I remember the "deadly embrace".
