Definition

Use this flag to determine lock behavior when more than one lock exists.

Behavior if initial value set:

If a lock attempt fails owing to an overlapping lock being set, the exception FOREIGN_LOCK is triggered.

Behavior if value 'X':

A lock attempt which fails owing to an existing lock is repeated after a specified interval. The exception FOREIGN_LOCK is only triggered if a specified time limit since the first lock attempt is exceeded without the lock having been set.

The interval between attempts and the time limit are specified by means of internal profile parameters.
