Item Locking (Screen Editor) (m618602+itemlocking.htm)
The Screen Editor uses item locking to prevent corruption of the database. If you attempt to edit an item that is being edited by another user, the Screen Editor informs you that the item is locked by another user and does not let you edit the item. However, you are allowed to view the item in Browse Mode.
When you encounter a locked item, the system prompts:
Item Locked - Continue in display-only mode? :N
If your response is Y you can view the program but you are not allowed to make any changes. The Status/Command Line displays:
Browse Mode:file-name item-id
