Ending a user transaction after idle time

Question

Hi guru's,
We have a customer transaction used by a lot of endusers that may block some pernrs.
I'd really like to end the transaction after say like 5 minutes of idle time so the pernrs are no longer blocked by a certain enduser.
Using the time out of the system so the enduser loses his session or messing with the en- or dequeue commands is not an option.
Any ideas or approaches?  Useful responses will be rewarded
Kind regards,
Jonathan

hi Jonathan,
I have a report that loops at pernr (get pernr).
after start of selection, but before get pernr, I have:
time = sy-uzeit. **start time of the program
right before end-of-selection (the end of the pernr loop) i have
time2 = sy-uzeit.
then:
if time2 - time1 > 300.***(Seconds)
***if the prgram has been running longer than 5 mins, exit
write: / 'time exceeded'.
exit.
endif.
hope this helps.
