I am curious about this also. GSEMNUM is 97 here also with a 117 UV user license on Redhat Linux UV 10.1.12.

We are running UV 10.2.3 on Win2003 server with a 110 UV user license. Our VAR set GSEMNUM to 97. Is this likely to cause any problems? I hasten to say we have no locking issues on our system.

Reason being for that parameter that when a "LIST" displays records at a terminal, the item at the bottom may span to the next page which is not yet displayed. If it was possible to update that record while it is displayed, you would see the first part of the record as you picked it, and, after the "Press any key to continue" if the record is updated by other, the second part may have a chance to be inconsistent with the first part. Other recommendations: - Be sure that you have a "GSEMNUM" parameter = a prime number larger than the number of users in your UniVerse licence (as a rule of thumb) - Check if the file involved with that Group lock have appropriate sizing : Small files accessed with high frequency are generally neglected and would have proportionally to the number of records a larger modulo than larger files (i.e.: NO files under modulo 11 is a good practice).
