# IMS DB: How to Resolve Deadlock

An application program can gain control when it is selected as the victim of a deadlock.

Dead Lock in IMS DB

## **[How to](https://srinimf.com/2017/10/27/sql-deadlock-four-precise-ways-to-avoid-it/) prevent Deadlock..**

The program can receive a status code ‘BC’ and make a programmatic decision as to how handle the deadlock instead of terminating with a U0777 ABEND.

There is an other opportunity for you to refresh your knowledge on[IMS DB status codes asked in many interviews](https://srinimf.com/2015/07/12/these-ims-db-ims-dc-error-codes-asked-in-many-mainframe-interviews/). An internal ROLB will be issued prior to the receipt of the ‘BC’ status code.
