# UNLOKR

> [HTML Version](unlokr.htm)

**UNLOKR #ch**

**Parameters**

_ch _is an integer identifying the file; established by the OPEN statement.

**Comments**

UNLOKR has no effect if [LOKSER](lokser_sp.md) not enabled, or if the current record number is not locked. The record number to unlock is determined by the contents of the record-number variable specified in the OPEN statement. Records are locked by the READL statement, and if not unlocked by a subsequent WRITE, should be unlocked by UNLOKR. Closing the file also unlocks all locked records.
