A READU can have all three, actually, at least on Unidata.

Subject: [Norton AntiSpam] [U2] READU ... THEN _or_ ELSE but not both?

>From the documentation:

READU dyn.array.var FROM [file.var,] record.ID.expr [LOCKED
statements] [ON ERROR statements] {THEN statements [END] | ELSE
statements [END]}

Am I reading this right?  When I READU I can either have a THEN or an
ELSE, but not both?  (That it does not compile with both tends to
confirm that...) 

At the moment I think I need both. :/ And I need to do the same thing
in either case, so I ended up with:

READU R.XBWU FROM F.XBWU, X.ONE.ID LOCKED
   CRT 'XBWU RECORD IS LOCKED, IGNORE IT'
END THEN
   X.LOCKED = '1'
END ;*END READU

IF X.LOCKED = '1' THEN
   CRT 'OBTAINED LOCK ON XBWU RECORD'
   R.XBWU<XBWU.ASURITE> = X.ASURITE
   WRITE R.XBWU TO F.XBWU, X.ONE.ID ON ERROR
      IF STATUS() = 10 THEN 
         ;* Either the ASURITE or USER.ID is duplicated
         X.ERROR = X.DUPLICATE.ON.WRITE
      END ;* IF STATUS
   END ;* END WRITE
END ;* IF X.LOCKED

Suggestions for improvement are welcome!
