LOCKMAX= parameter for procedures

Use the LOCKMAX= parameter in procedures to specify a locking limitation. The accepted value range is between 1 and 32767 (in units of 1000). This parameter overrides the PSBGEN LOCKMAX value if one was specified. An override parameter of LOCKMAX=0 turns off all locking limitation.

You can set the LOCKMAX= parameter using the DFSOPT DD statement in IMS-supplied procedures. The syntax for the LOCKMAX= parameter is:

LOCKMAX=1-32767 (The default is 0.)

For more information, see DFSOPT DD in DD statements for IMS procedures.

LOCKMAX=10: Allows for 10000 locks.
LOCKMAX=0: Turns off locking limitation.
