If any process, such as a TCL command or a FlashBASIC program is executed from an account that does not have retrieval and/or update privileges for a file, and then attempts to read and/or write to that file, the process terminates with an error message indicating that the file is access protected.
To read from or write to a retrieval/update protected file, the retrieval and update lock codes must match those of the file that is opened. This is a system function and cannot be accomplished from FlashBASIC. If the file is retrieval protected, the file cannot be opened and the program terminates.
Example(s)
At TCL, message [210] above displays if payroll is access protected.
list payroll [210] File ’payroll’ is access protected. |
If a file called payroll has an access retrieval lock that does not match the lock codes (keys) for the current user, the statement aborts the program with message [210].
file payroll [210] in program ’enter-payroll’, File ’payroll’ is access protected. |
If the file is access protected, the else clause is taken and message [201] displays.
open ’payroll’ to payroll.file else stop 201,’payroll’ [201] ’payroll’ is not a file name. |
