Along with the LOCKED you need a call to the STATUS() function to return the port number/pid And then a *table* updating (and crushed) by the Login/Logout routines (Yes you can have a logout routine) which matches the pid to the user And THEN a table of telephone extensions matched to the user....
So on a locked out condition your *waiting* user gets a "Customer record A049282 locked by John Smith extension 701" Then and only then, do they not call the Help Desk.

Wj, ou are right, I'm a hired gun and try to do what the *boss* wants. As far as adding LOCKED clauses, that would only solve a part of it. The second ser would know why they can't update a record but would still have to call upport to kick the first person out. The goal is to reduce user aggravation and calls to the support group. e shall see how the time out thing work outs.

"Maintenance programming" means adding LOCKED clauses that ould have been there in the first place. I doubt it would take more an a few hours; probably less time than writing and debugging some f-the-wall input timer routine. There probably aren't that many itical READU's. On my system, for the number of programs I have in e system, I only have a third as many READU's. x _____________________________________________ -Users mailing list [email protected] tp://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users _______________________________________________ 2-Users mailing list [email protected] ttp://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users ______________________________________________ 2-Users mailing list [email protected] ttp://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users _______________________________________________ U2-Users mailing list [email protected] http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
