☜	Error Code M41 M[UMPS] by Example					☞

M41, Invalid LOCK argument within a TRANSACTION

Introduced in the 1995 ANSI M[UMPS] language standard.

In the context of transaction processing, it is not allowed to release resources within a transaction, if those resources were obtained outside of the transaction in question. This restriction is necessary to allow transactions to be restartable.

When, within a transaction, a Lock command is executed that releases a name from the LOCK list that was not entered into the LOCK list within the context of the current transaction, this error will occur.
