That's because $INCREMENT isn't standard MUMPS. It atomically reads and increments a variable. To try and get a lock and retry if you fail, give the lock a timeout and then check $TEST as in L +^KEVIN(0):1 I '$T do something do work L -^KEVIN(0) === Gregory Woodhouse <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "All truth passes through three stages: First, it is ridiculed.
