Locking Records
Individual records can be locked, preventing data in the record from being edited. Locked
records are copied along with product handlers during programmer-to-programmer and disk-
to-disk updates, making it easy to transfer custom records. Locked records, including
NEWRECORD, can be unlocked for custom programming. NOTE: This feature is
password
dependent
. If the programmer is logged onto with a password that does not have the authority
to lock records, the message ACCESS DENIED is displayed when trying to access this
feature. To lock a record:
1. Scroll to the appropriate product handler from the Product Handlers menu using the red
↓ or ↑ keys, and press the red ENTER GROUP key.
2. Scroll to LOCKRECORD using the red ↓ or ↑ keys, and press the red ENTER GROUP key.
3. Type in the
exact
name of the record to be locked in the NAME field, and press the white
ENTER key. (Record titles are
not
case-sensitive.)
RECORD NOT FOUND: If the name that was typed in does not match any record titles
on the current disk, the message RECORD NOT FOUND is displayed. Check the title
entered in the NAME field – it must exactly match the title of the record stored on the
current disk. The title can be verified by exiting the LOCK RECORD display and viewing
the list of records. If the record title is not displayed, it may be stored on a different disk.
See
Changing the Disk
in the
Disk Operations
chapter.
To lock the record
, type Y on the keyboard and press the white ENTER key. The
message RECORD LOCKED is displayed. The cursor remains in the LOCK RECORD
display, allowing other records to be locked.
To unlock a locked record
, enter the name and select N at the LOCK RECORD prompt.
4. Press the red EXIT GROUP key to return to the Record level.
Programmer Tip – Working with Locked Records
After a record has been locked, program items can still be edited. Although locked records
cannot be replaced
(saved under the same name), records
can be saved under a different
name
.
If changes have been made to a locked record, and an attempt is made to REPLACE, the
programmer emits a "buzz" tone, and the message READ ONLY RECORD is displayed.
The edited record can still be saved under a different name by returning to the handler menu
(by pressing the red EXIT GROUP key), selecting SAVE, and entering a new name. Note that
after exiting SAVE, the original locked record title is still displayed. To view the edited
program items of the newly saved record, exit to the Record level, and select the title of the
new record.
