This "NOMSG" solved my problem, i was having erros on trying to lock the table while the table was still locked.

 

Here it's the full code:

 

/* Options to help debug the macro */
options mprint mlogic symbolgen;

%macro trylock(member=, timeout=);
%local starttime;
%let starttime = %sysfunc(datetime());
%do %until (&syslckrc = 0
or %sysevalf(%sysfunc(datetime()) > (&starttime + &timeout)));
%put trying to open ...;
%put trying lock ...;
lock &member NOMSG;
%if &syslckrc ne 0 %then %let rc=%sysfunc(sleep(15));
%put syslckrc=&syslckrc;
%end;
%mend trylock;


%trylock(member=&TABLE, timeout=&TIME_TO_CHECK);
