SQL0911N SQLSTATE=40001 on compilation of few specific cobol programs. Need help!!

  I am receiving the following error when I compile a specific cobol program. This is happening only on few tables which I presume are locked or are in contention. Not sure how to fix this. Any help will be deeply appreciated. [cobol] COBDB0100S SQL0911N  The current transaction has been rolled back because of a deadlock or timeout.  Reason code "68".  SQLSTATE=40001
