why not do a READU using the LOCKED clause?  Something like

READU ORDER.ITEM FROM F.ORDER LOCKED
   PRINT 'record is locked ......'
   INPUT JUNK
END ELSE
   * I got the record AND locked it, so do my thing .....
END

you could even loop around a couple of times to see if the lock releases and after "x" times inform the user that the record is locked .......

I am trying to make sure that if one Customer.Service rep is updating a

The following code will indicates that the record is locked but when the 2nd
user goes in (in an independent session), the second user gets in no
problem.

Since it does not seem to do what I think that it should, [1] I am wondering
if I am missing something.  [2] I am inclined to create a file to handle
this (brute force) with multivalues for user, port, time, date, program,
file, record.

Comments would be appreciated.
