UNLOCK [#] <U>filenum</U> [,{<U>record</U> | [<U>start</U>] TO <U>end</U>}]
Removes a previously set file or record lock.
<U>filenum</U> The number under which the file was OPENed.
<U>record</U> The number of a record to be LOCKed or UNLOCKed.
<U>start</U> The number of the first record to be LOCKed or UNLOCKed.
<U>end</U> The number of the last record to be LOCKed or UNLOCKed.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
<B>Notes:</B> If the file specified by <U>filenum</U> has been opened for
random access, you may lock either a single record number
(with the record argument) or a range of record numbers.
If you specify a range and omit the <U>start</U> argument, all
records from the beginning of the file to <U>end</U> are locked.
If the file specified by <U>filenum</U> was opened for sequential
input or output, the entire file is locked.
LOCK requires DOS 3.0 or later and SHARE.EXE.
It is important to UNLOCK all LOCKed records before
closing the file.
