Please check out below code snippet for how to Limit the length of the lock attempts to five seconds.

###################################################
lockwait = 5
Trbegin
Lock COMPTEUR
If fstat
BADLOCK = 1
Rollback
Else
[C]COMPTEUR += 1
Commit
Endif
###################################################

This code will lock the record COMPUTER for five seconds and will release it automatically.

Lockwait is an Adonix system variable of the Integer type, which allows you to set the maximum of seconds that each lock attempt will last via the Lock and Readlock instructions.

Lockwait can have all values from 2^31 -1 to 2^31. If its value is negative, the attempt time will be unlimited. If its value is null, a single attempt will be made.

The Lock (or Readlock) syntax With lockwait = allows you to assign this variable for a short while.

This instruction is not interruptible – even if the program is (by Inter).

Lockwait is not taken into account by the For, With, Lock, and Update instructions. A single attempt will be made for these instructions.

Hope this helps!!
