mumps.unlock()

Decrements the lock count for a MUMPS global. Note that MUMPS locks are advisory, meaning that MUMPS will not enforce locking automatically. It is the responsibility of your application code to check for and honor any outstanding locks before setting a MUMPS global.

Arguments

Argument	Data Type	Required	Description
globalName	string	Yes	The name of the global to examine
subscripts	array	No	An array of subscripts

Return Value

None. Unlocking a global that has not been locked has no effect and will be ignored.

Example

CFScript

var mumps = new lib.cfmumps.Mumps();
mumps.open();

if(mumps.lock("patients", ["WILLIS", "JOHN", "DOB")) {
	mumps.set("patients", ["WILLIS", "JOHN", "DOB"], "12/1/1980");
	mumps.unlock("patients", ["WILLIS", "JOHN", "DOB"]);
}
else {
	writeOutput("<p>Lock failed.</p>");
}

mumps.close();
