Thank you to all that responded.
Yes the file is being opened withing the subroutine and no, is not easy
to change it to open the file higher in the food chain. It seems that D3
scopes the lock table according to the user that created the lock (the
lock is released when they log off, if not explicitly released
beforehand), whereas Universe scopes the lock at the life of the file
variable used (as Brian and others suggested). Just another issue to
work around when porting code from AP/D3.
This piece of code was an add-on for a tacked-on extension to a system
many years ago by persons unknown. It may be easier to open most of the
files in the system at logon time and put them in a named common.
Cheers,

Hi all,
I am porting some code from D3 to Universe 10.1.11 on Windows (and then
to Linux 10.2.x)
I have a subroutine that does a READU on an item and leaves the lock set
when it returns to the calling the program (The calling program will
release the lock at a later stage). However, Universe is releasing the
lock when it returns from subroutine. Is this a known feature and is
there an option to turn off this behaviour?
Cheers,
Noel
