You
do not need to use record locking to write data to CAPITAL's databases using the Write()
function. The record will automatically be locked for the duration of the write.LockRecord()
Locks the currently selected record in the current or specified database.
Syntax
LockRecord() --> lResult
Arguments
None.
Returns
Returns TRUE if the record was successfully locked, otherwise FALSE.
Description
LockRecord() is a network function that locks the current record, preventing other users from updating the record until the lock is released. The record can still be read by other users. A record lock remains until another record is locked, or the UnlockRecord() function is called for the same record or the database file is closed.
For each invocation of LockRecord(), there is one attempt to lock the current record, and the result is returned as a TRUE or FALSE value. An attempt to obtain a record lock fails if another user or application has already locked the record.
It is recommended that you always specify which table to lock. See the example below:
If Table->(LockRecord())
Echo("The selected record is locked.")
Endif
Table->(UnlockRecord())
You
do not need to use record locking to write data to CAPITAL's databases using the Write()
function. The record will automatically be locked for the duration of the write.
When
you have finished writing to the record you must unlock it using the UnlockRecord()
function. Other users on your network may be prevented from working on the data contained in the database
until you unlock it.
