Any solution is going to require modifying your system, as far as I know, other 
than educating your users.  The best solution would be to add the LOCKED clause 
so you can find out who is the offending user and concentrate on increasing 
their knowledge.

Subject: [U2] Detecting idle time in INPUT statement.

Hello all,
 
We are running Universe 10.1 on AIX with about 500 users. We have a problem 
with users opening up a record which puts a lock on it and just letting it sit 
at the INPUT statement for a long time.
 
Most of the locking within the application does not use the LOCKED clause so 
when a second person needs the locked record, their session waits.
 
What is the best way to detect the user hasn't typed anything for a period of 
time, say 2 minutes? This needs to be simple as we have no desire to rewrite 
the application!
 
IIRC, some other MV systems have a timeout on the INPUT but I can't find 
anything about this in the UV manual.
 
Thanks,

Don Robinson
