BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE ERROR: A System Error Has Occurred While Locking

Question

Hi All,
I am having a problem with a Z program that I am writing.
Basically, it uses the BAPI mentioned in the title. The program will read excel file that is being uploaded, and then will segregate the line items by 200 lines.
That means, if I were to upload 1000 line items, the BAPI will be called and executed 5 times (1000/200 = 5).
However, when trying to upload 10000 line items, I received this error after around 3000 line items.
"A system error has occurred while locking".
This happens when IMPORT parameter TEST_RUN is set to 'X'.
I found this after some googling: http://sap.ittoolbox.com/groups/technical-functional/sap-basis/lock-entry-system-error-1674434
I am hoping for your expert thoughts on this.
Thank you.
