Normand,

A buffering of 2 is a record-level pessimistic lock. If you issue TABLEUPDATE(), it will lock the record first. You might have some part of your system doing the same or causing that particular record to be locked somewhere.

Also, don't forget that when you move the record pointer, it will also implicitly do a TABLEUPDATE() on the record you have just left.
