The biggest problem we have experienced as Pickies has been that no-one has
ever heard of it. Now, when there is evidence that someone is learning it,
the likes of @PaulWilson shout, scream, and throw their toys out the cot...
go figure!

Whereas Java is an 'open' language with zillions of sites telling one
EXACTLY how to code, Pick is as closed as it comes. Info is extremely
difficult to come by unless you reach a group like this... and who tells a
newbie that UniVerse is Pick? Or jBase or D3 or Revelation or...

Yes, I know it is annoying for some having to be reminded we all started
somewhere.
Yeah, I'm all for helping people know about this thing called Pick.. I've
been doing it for over 30 years, like some other folk around here, but I'm
still not going to get around to every site to fix their code. It'll be
nice to know there's a growing fraternity of newcomers to it.. it might
give reason for companies to invest in it, and not see the lack of Pickies
as reason to think there is no long term investment value...

If you think that another 2000 pick-ites will put you out of a job, you
need to lift your eyes to the horizon. There are at least 4400 installed
sites of Globus / T24, a banking app this is growing new programmers... and
even you will not be able to service the workload...

Oh I agree!  I was just thinking round-robin that if we're going to talk
about adding a LOCKED clause to the WRITE statement, matching the

Now why would anybody want to use a WRITE without a READU?
I can possibly understand that somebody would want to do it with a 
WRITEV (i.e writing a flag on a record) but WRITE?
And WRITE totally ignoring locking would be outright stupid.

 UV 10.2.10 on Windows is behaving differently from what I recall.
 Are my expectations out of line?

 Suppose Session A holds a readu lock; and Session B attempts a WRITE
to
 same record withOUT!!! 1st explicitly getting the readu lock.
 Session B waits for Session A to release the lock before writing the
 record.

 While Session B is waiting,  does it show up as a waiter in
LIST.READU

 EVERY?
 I expected so,  but it doesn't.

 1A. ED VOC DUMMY
      (this sets the readu lock.)

 2A. (stay in editor)            2B. run this:

 But when I comment out line 2, LIST.READU is silent.

Come to think of it, I think customizing CSC's MHC s/w was the 1st time 
I ever fought this fight. Before that, I had always programmed under a standard 
that demanded a 
READU before a WRITE.   And every READU needed a LOCKED clause. cds On

remote, on-site for code drops and go-live.  Pays well, including TL.  Please 
forward me your contact information with resume and I’ll make the introduction

I know no more about these positions than is stated in the prepared

Good luck.
