     With DETECTLOCK, if a READ statement reads a record locked by
     another program, it will return an I-O status of 9/068. With
     NODETECTLOCK, it will return 0/000. In both cases it will read
     the record successfully.
 
     When DETECTLOCK is specified, individual READ steatments may be made
     to ignore locks by using the READ ... IGNORELOCK syntax. See your
     Language Reference for details of this syntax.
