Is there anyway to test whether the current window was able to lock the record being displayed.

Thanks

It's easy enough as a post process on the key which causes a row to be read / locked. Just attempt to lock the same record again. If the ELSE branch is taken, you can check STATUS() to see if it was locked by someone else or by the workstation itself somewhere else.

Like:

LOCK WC_SRC_FILE%,@ID THEN

whoops, the record isn't locked by the window ..

END ELSE
ST=STATUS()
st=0 indicates another station

st=1 indicates the station's own lock

END

HTH.

You can also check the WC_WLOCKED% window common variable.

There's nothing else in the system I know of that sets this variable. WINDOW uses it to protect the window fields if the record is locked.
