Re: Record Lock under Commitment Control

Hello John,

I noticed that Patrik didn't say anything about whether he did an update in the first session before attempting to access the same record in the second session.

The answer would have been: The screen was still just sitting there in the EXFMT for CHGREC.

This issue shows to me: Things are often not that easy as they look at a first glance. ;-)

Yeah, it's positional code and the whitespace is all screwed up in my pasting of it. But it's still very clear nonetheless. The only things that need explaining are the 12 at the end of the READ statement (*IN12 is set on if EOF is reached) and the 99 at the end of the UNLOCK statement (*IN99 is set on if there's an error).

Indeed, very clear! Thanks for pointing this out!

Deleted some superfluous UNLOCKs, and moved one to the return from CHGREC… ;-)

:wq! PoC
