Hello,

Use the below function module. Then sy-subrc will not be 0 when called from program B.

CALL FUNCTION 'ENQUEUE_E_TABLES'

EXPORTING

mode_rstable = 'E'

tabname = <table name>

EXCEPTIONS

foreign_lock = 1

system_failure = 2

OTHERS = 3.

In program B, you can call this in Do - EndDo and exit when sy-subrc is 0

Regards,

Janani

In program B check if table is unlocked each minute. If so proceed the processing

"program B
do.
  "check if table unlocked
  if sy-subrc = 0.
    exit.  "exit to proceed furhter
  else.
   wait up to 60 seconds.
  endif.
enddo.
