Description of the report.

<Text>.

Set SI-DBSTATUS on deadlocks/ locks etc.

When not enabled, the execution of the Report will be aborted when certain database errors occur like deadlocks etc. When enabled, the execution of the Report will continue and SI-DBSTATUS will be set to the specific error. It is the programmers responsibility to check SI-DBSTATUS after every database access in that case. 
If set to default, then the behavior will be according to the application options setting.

Default/ Yes/ No.

Automatically LOCK record if there is an update

If enabled, LION will search in the code for <Table query>.UPDATE instructions before executing the code. If an update on a Table query is found, LION 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)
//all read records are locked

qTB1.START (0, 12)
LOOP qTB1
   qTB1.UPDATE (*)
ENDLOOP

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.
