Problem:

Do DECLARATIVES override the RETRYLOCK directive?

Resolution:

With the standard Micro Focus COBOL directives a DECLARATIVES section does not OVERRIDE the RETRYLOCK directive.  However, compiling with RM directive will cause control to passed to the DECLARATIVES section despite getting a 9/68 (locked record) error.
