Syntax

CodeLock (lockID)

Elements

lockID

ID of lock to be locked (assigned by LotusScript through CreateLock)

CodeLock will return TRUE, if the lock is acquired.

Usage

Acquires the lock specified by ID. If the lock is already held by another agent, the thread stalls until the lock becomes available. Bear in mind that CodeLock and CodeUnLock should always be done in pairs; failure to adhere to this practice will lead to unexpected results.
