GOAL:

Can error 121 be displayed in an alert box using a 4GL/ABL Character Client?

GOAL:

Why can the error 121 NOT be captured programmatically and diverted to an output stream?

GOAL:

Why is the error "<file-name> in use by <user> on <tty>. Wait or press <STOP> to stop. (121)" implemented as a message in the status area?

FACT(s) (Environment):

All Supported Operating Systems
Progress 9.x
OpenEdge 10.x

FIX:

It is not possible to display error 121 in an alert box even when setting SYSTEM-ALERT-BOXES attribute. The reason it is implemented as a message in the status area is that Progress needs to poll the lock manager on a regular basis to see if the lock has been freed. Progress can not do polling when an alert box is displayed in character mode.
