Paul I believe you are going to be out of luck here as all of the normal "wait/pause" style services do not allow locks to be held (or in SUSPEND/RELEASE case will release when CALLDISP is invoked).
As I am sure you are aware, the number of services available to your program drastically decreases if you are holding locks. A little bit more meat on the bones as to "why" might help? As you will be holding the local lock - what are you expecting to happen in the address space so that you will be able to complete the locked operation?

Hi: This might go under the heading of 'why would you want to to that', but, is there a way to do a WAIT (like a STIMERM for a hundreth of a second) while holding the LOCAL LOCK? Is there such a thing as a WAIT service for when holding a LOCK? Thank you.
