True, however your statement "if you use RLOCK() then you don't need in buffering at all." is incorrect. Using unbound controls is eliminating the need for buffering but this has nothing to do with using or not using RLOCK().
When using databound controls you have to use buffering to use TABLEUPDATE()/TABLEREVERT(). RLOCK() has nothing to do with this either.
