I did the following:

1. Update my Novell client to 4.90 SP1a.

2. Commented out code relate to the RLOCK and add AERROR code to determine what the error is after the TABLEUPDATE command. I get error no 109, Record in use by an other user. I aslo display record no and key field value. It is in the middle of the table being updated. What s strange is that I am the only user.

2. If I also comment out the TABLEUPDATE command it works as expected.

Any insight appreciated.
