Purpose
Lock a record for exclusive use
Syntax
LOCKR
See Also
CLEAR LOCKS, CLOSE DATABASES, DISPLAY STATUS, FLOCK(), LOCKF, RLOCK(), SET EXCLUSIVE, UNLOCK, USE
Description
The LOCKR command provides the facility to lock a record in the active table for exclusive use. LOCKR is similar to the RLOCK() function except that LOCKR suspends program execution until the lock is granted. In order to prepare a table for locking, SET EXCLUSIVE OFF must be in effect when you USE the table.
The LOCKR command works in conjunction with the UNLOCK command. Whenever you issue CLOSE DATABASES, UNLOCK, USE, QUIT or CLEAR LOCKS, then any active locks will be removed. You can see any active locks using the DISPLAY STATUS command. This command is not normally needed as the Recital/4GL performs automatic file and record locking.
Example
set exclusive off use patrons index events, names seek "ROMEO" if found() lockr replace price with price * 1.2 unlock endif
Products
Recital Server, Recital
