Yes.
Today, deadly embraces can be avoided via LOCKED clauses.
In days of yore, Pick's READU syntax did not allow a LOCKED clause.
BTW, I advocate 2 Programming Standards:
1. If a lock is taken (READU, RECORDLOCKU, FILELOCK, etc.), a
LOCKED clause must be present.
2. A lock must be set explicitly before any update may be attempted.

20 points to anyone who is old enough to remember *why* we couldn't rely on the
Locked clause.
