repaired....

I agree that some fields may not be updated due to 'mechanical' problems.
In that case, the program gently tells user that the record is in use by
someone else.
However, I was refering to an RPG error stating, "record cannot be updated
because it is still locked by another user" ( the original posting spoke of
F1 for help then F10 for job log in order to see who locked the
record...)These are two distinctly different scenarios with 2 different
causes and 2 different solutions.
