I agree with Robert to a point. Depends on how the LOCK is used. It can be the user or programmer's fault. To use LOCK on data entry would be silly, that's what an EXTRACT is for. I use LOCK's in update routines where it must be mandated that no further changes, additions, deletions can occur during the update process. Careless use of the LOCK statement? No solution... The parent program rules!! The only way a file can be UNLOCKED is via the parent program. My opinion. If you break this, then why have a LOCK statement???? Depends on the programmer whether the client or programmer's head is in danger..
