If PCLOCKING is set ON, previous locks will be canceled as FLOCK() or RLOCK() functions attempt to lock records or files that are all ready locked. The previous lock will be removed regardless of the success or failure of the FLOCK() or RLOCK() function. When PCLOCKING is set OFF, multiple applications of the FLOCK() and RLOCK() functions are allowed. Please note that file and record locking is performed automatically. In most situations, the SET PCLOCKING command and the RLOCK() and FLOCK() functions are unnecessary, and are included for compatibility with programs written in other products. This command allows the optional logical expression <expL> to be evaluated. If a value of .T. is returned, PCLOCKING is set ON. If a value of .F. is returned PCLOCKING is set OFF. Note that the <expL> should be enclosed in round brackets. By default, PCLOCKING is OFF. ==Example== <pre> set pclocking on do while not rlock() set message to "Record in use." sleep 2 enddo</pre> ==Products== Recital Database Server, Recital Mirage Server, Recital Terminal Developer [[Category:Documentation]] [[Category:Commands]] [[Category:Set_Commands|PCLOCKING]]
