  Message:      RT068
 
  Text:         Record locked
 
  Severity:     Recoverable
 
  Explanation:  You have tried to access a record which is currently
                locked by another user.
 
  Resolution:   Your program can inform the system operator (if there
                is one) that the record is currently locked, and you should
                then wait until the other user has released the lock on that
                record. You should then be able to access the relevant
                record. You should not continually retry to gain access to
                the record without operator intervention, as this could
                result in your application hanging.
