Use this constant to either get or set the value of a database parameter which specifies the number of seconds an application should wait for a database lock to be acquired before timing out. After the specified time has elapsed, SQLBase rolls back the transaction. The default timeout value is 300 seconds. Valid time out values are: 1-1800 Wait 1 second to 30 minutes -1 Wait forever 0 Never wait; immediately return a time out error. Use this constant with the SqlGetParameter and SqlSetParameter functions. You can only use this constant against databases which support the setting of lock wait timeout values. Please refer to the appropriate database manuals for more information. Value = 5
