Section 13,65: UNLOCK
Frees the current record (that is, the last record read) in an
indexed (VMS only), relative, or sequential file. By default, a
record is locked when it is read. The lock is normally held until
your program performs another I/O operation on the unit (for
example, rewriting the record, reading another record, or closing
the file).
Statement format:
UNLOCK ([UNIT=]u[,ERR=s][,IOSTAT=ios])
UNLOCK u
u An integer variable or constant specifying the
logical unit number of the file, optionally
prefaced by UNIT=. UNIT= is required if unit is
not the first I/O specifier.
s The label of a statement to which control is
transferred if an error condition occurs.
ios An integer scalar memory reference that is
defined as a positive integer if an error occurs
and zero if no error occurs.
