LOCKTIMEREADOVRD=nnnnnn specifies the number of seconds (default 0) to wait before overriding the read lock. The default means to inactivate this option (read locks will never be overridden).
This option automatically overrides a read lock and resets it when it exceeds this timer. By allowing stale read locks to be cleared automatically, tableBASE can continue operating without requiring a region or VTS recycle, and tables can be closed or updated without relying on diagnostic intervention.
New warning messages have been added to support diagnostics and transparency when locks are overridden.
Ensure this value is high enough to avoid removing an active read lock (example: 120 seconds), to be confident the delay was not a low priority application read in a heavily loaded system. Removing an active read lock could result in invalid data being returned to the application program.
This option can be specified for all tableBASE interfaces.
