|
Automatically LOCK record if there is an update (DLL only) |
If enabled, AMT will search in the code for <Table query>.UPDATE instructions before executing the code. If an update on a Table query is found, AMT will lock all read records using that Table query, even if these reads appear in the code before the .UPDATE command itself. Example: qTB1.INDEX (IND_A) If you have this option disabled, you might want to receive a warning when writing an .UPDATE without locking the records that are read. If an administrator sets the applicable Global Option, developers will get this warning. If set to default, the concerned locking mechanism will work according to the switch "Automatically lock record" in the application options. |
