On Universe LIST.LOCKS shows task locks (i.e. LOCK 5 in UVBASIC )- I have to use LIST.READU EVERY to get readu locks. Does UniData have a LIST.READU command?

As usual, anyone who knows where the info is, I would not be the least bit offended if you just point. Or if you know off-hand ... (Presently grappling with Unidata): When I hit a lock with a: READU this FROM that,ID LOCKED locked clause ELSE whatever LIST.LOCKS from TCL has always been worse than useless for me. For example at this exact moment I'm holding locks on 3 sessions, yet if I run LIST.LOCKS on a 4th session it displays ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. I don't see much on offer in the LOCKED clause, although the online help suggests that STATUS() will return the user number of the lock it ran into. Can't understand its output... I have a very short program that displays STATUS(), opens the file and displays STATUS() then does a READU against an item I purposefully have locked on another session and I display STATUS() a third time. What do you suppose its giving me, and what can I do with it? 1 STATUS = 0 <-- beginning of program 2 STATUS = 1 <-- after the open 3 STATUS = 197613 <-- this is what it gives me after the READU against a locked item What I want to do is determine who/what has the lock, tell the user, I also want to be able to carry on under my own conditions when ud 46 flag is set which will by default allow edits to items I've locked against my own session. Which is too loose -- I want to check to make sure I'm in the exact right condition to do that and I'm not sure how I can (by seeing what is holding the lock) but ... does anyone know how to get ANY information out of a lock?
