If it does not compile, then it is not supported. I think that that stupid stuff came from a version of Pick that was always somewhat at odds with everyone else. Don’t use such things as they are not very portable. If all you wish to do is lock a particular record, then use OPEN and READU. However, make sure that you code so as not to hold locks on anything for very long.

Yes 'RECORDLOCKED', 'RECORDLOCK' and 'RECORDLOCKU' are all supported
by the jBASE compiler
[ however due to the ease of misuse of these statements. these
statements should only be used with the utmost care ]

Difference between 'READU' and 'RECORDLOCKU' :

'RECORDLOCKU' takes a lock without actually 'read'ing the item
