Unlockkeyword

Removes a previous access restriction (lock) on a file

Syntax

Unlock #filenum, record

Unlock #filenum, start To end

Parameters

Name		Description
`filenum`		The file number used to `Open` the file.
`record`		The record (`Random` files) to unlock.
`start`		The first byte position (`Binary` files) in a range to unlock.
`end`		The last byte position (`Binary` files) in a range to unlock.

Description

Unlock removes the temporary access restriction set by Lock.

It is strongly recommended to use the same arguments used in the previous Lock.

Note: This command does not always work, neither as documented nor as expected. It appears to be broken at the moment.

Remarks

Differences from QB

Currently, FB cannot implicitly unlock the entire file
In Random mode, FB cannot unlock a range of records
