Answer / guru
Usually a record lock will happen when you read a file
itself. To avoid file locks, use the following ways
1.Read(N)Read with no lock
2.When your file is in update mode and if you use any chain
function, then use Chain(N)

when the file is opened in update mode, when u chain the
same record two time continuously with out any updation bw
2 chains then u can face this problem. because the record
is locked by the first chain operation, so cannot chain the
same record again.
To relese the record simply update that record befor the
next chain/read.

Answer / rakesh roshan
This is true because either it must be updating the File or
Writing the record to the file and it places *EXCL Lock .
To handle such exception it depends upon the
Application ,if we want to handle such lock we can chain(N)
extender but then we need to see whether the File it is
writing or updating is having some constraints associated
or not , if yes
then we can handle the exception by using %Status of PSDS
DS and wait for few seconds and Retry it .
