The Help is hardly helpful on this one because it doesn't mention what you have observed. BUT... that is what it is designed to do - report on the lock status WITHIN the application issuing the function.

In other words, it tells you if you have already locked the record within this running instance of the application.

I can see no good use for this command, save possibly to make code a tad more understandable.
