Well, I never heard of this before now, but by texting in DBUTIL.PUB.SYS
into my favorite editor, I located a string "LOCKSIZELEVEL" in amongst the
CIUPDATE, BUFFSPECS, etc.  which led me to believe it's part of the SET
command.  However, HELP SET does not show anything about it.  So, on my
test data base, I entered SET DB1 LOCKSIZELEVEL and received "Invalid
delimiter" in return.  Guessing LOCKSIZELEVEL to be numeric, I then entered
SET DB1 LOCKSIZELEVEL=1, and got back "Locksizelevel set to 1".  Hmmmmm.
That "worked", but what's the "normal" value?  Well, a SHOW DB2 ALL does
not show the LOCKSIZELEVEL; however, a SHOW DB2 LOCKSIZELEVEL does indeed
return a value of 6.  So, I SET DB1 LOCKSIZELEVEL=6 and that's all I know.

Hope this helps.  I'm sure someone more knowledgable than I will chime in
with the inside skinny.
