    The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

    if the ENQUEUE lock has got caught in lock management because of a
    mode termination or as a result of serious problems, and if the object
    is no longer being processed by someone, you can use transaction
    SM12 for this product to remove the lock. This lock removal will be
    logged.
