I occasionally need to wait for a lock entry to be dequeued when I have a multi-step scenario where COMMIT WORK AND WAIT is insufficient but waiting a static number of seconds with WAIT UP TO n SECONDS could result in waiting longer than necessary.

With the below code, I reduce wait time to the shortest possible wait--depending on use, even down to one tenth of a second.
DATA lt_enq TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF seqg3.

DATA: BEGIN OF ls_time,
start TYPE timestampl,
now TYPE timestampl,
elapsed TYPE tzntstmpl, " in seconds
limit TYPE tzntstmpl VALUE 3, " in seconds
END OF ls_time.

GET TIME STAMP FIELD ls_time-start.

WHILE ls_time-elapsed < ls_time-limit.

CALL FUNCTION 'ENQUEUE_READ'
EXPORTING
gname = TABLE_NAME
garg = TABLE_KEY
TABLES
enq = lt_enq
EXCEPTIONS
communication_failure = 1
system_failure = 2
OTHERS = 3.

IF lt_enq[] IS INITIAL.
EXIT. " object is not locked
ENDIF.

GET TIME STAMP FIELD ls_time-now.

ls_time-elapsed = cl_abap_tstmp=>subtract(
tstmp1 = ls_time-now
tstmp2 = ls_time-start
).

ENDWHILE. " elapsed time
