Record Locks

["James Lowary" <Jllowary@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If in ILE program you specify on a Chain (N) to not lock the record on a Update 
file.  Is this treated as a Read with Lock then an immediate UnLock, or as it 
would be in a none Update situation (can you read the record if it is locked by 
another job)? 

I'm assuming the first one would be the way it would happen. (IE: if you 
chained to a record and it was locked, the chain would fail after waiting for 
the appropriate time-out, even though you specified NoLock)  Since the ODP 
would be opened for Update you would still need a free and clear record, or is 
there some magic under the covers and it would treat that requests a just Input 
request, not a Update request.

Thanks,
