Parameter documentation

Number of attempts to execute an ALTER TABLE statement again, if a lock situation occurred during its execution (SQL0913). Note that this means that the total wait time in the case of failure is (<(><<)>n>+1) * WAITFILE seconds, where WAITFILE is the table attribute of the same name, which can be viewed with the command DSPFD. If you set the value -1, the value of dbs/db4/timeout_retry is used. For more information, see SAP Note 1241447.
