Understanding Record Unlocking

To protect data integrity, the India Localization system locks records to prevent more than one user from updating a table simultaneously. When you use a program that writes records to the PLA, AII, or CII table, the system locks the table so that you cannot use another program that writes records to the same table. The system releases these locked records after the table is updated. If the system does not release the locked records, you can use the Unlock File program (P75I351) to unlock the records in the PLA, AII, or CII table.

The system stores the summary of the locked records in the Excise Balance file lock table (F75IEXC).
