    Abstract: Lock performance improvement
    
    Description: Lock contention potentially hangs user logon
    
    Local solution: n/a
    
    Resolution: Locking has been improved to eliminate contention
    
    OA61077 represents a significant performance improvement for
    V210 but also a small functional change.
    
    
    Dialog lock initialization was moved from 'first use' to 'at
    product startup' to minimize a potential lock contention that
    hung the system. The effect should be transparent.
    
    KLSOPTMT is deprecated. KLSOPTMT tracked dialog use, the
    overhead of which was significant and the payback minimal. The
    replacement function has been ported from V310 and works like
    this:
    Rather than log *executed dialog maintenance at shutdown, *all
    dialog maintenance is reported at startup. The deprecated
    command:  NTD KLSMLEV ???  which is no longer relevant, instead
    invokes the aforementioned startup maintenance list in the event
    an on-demand list is necessary (e.g., if the entire TLVLOG is
    unavailable).
