Okay I have question ... but before you all "holler" at me to check the forum - I did already which is why I'm asking the question.
Here's the problem first: I have a batch program that updates fields in a master file from our imaging system. Occasionally, we get record locks because one of the users is looking at an image when the update program goes to update the fields (the image index fields).
I want to monitor for the record lock condition and have the program retry the update but upon searching the forum - I'm second guessing myself. With a batch program when you have a record lock - what's the best way to handle the issue?
