Re: Help with record lock

Charles,

Willie was reading ZZUSER2 but writing to ZZUSER; ergo the WRITE would not
release the record lock.  READ(n) ZZUSER2 would prevent the lock in the
first place, but there may be a good reason why Willie wanted to lock
ZZUSER2's record; can't tell from the code.

And if the record is still locked...are you using commitment control by
chance?

You'd need to COMMIT before the lock would be released.

If not using commitment control, the reocrd lock will be released
after the write, no UNLOCK required.

I want the file zzuser2 to be released after the write. When I check the

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The file is locked, or the record?

UNLOCK unlocks a record or a data area.

But to unlock the file (and the member), you would have to close it.
