Breaking out of RecordLock...

[Robert Brenstein]

A carryover from other languages as far as I know (I mean this is 
what kernel returns in other languages and kernel is common for all 
products). Just like nextRecord (and related). You can search list 
archives way back on discussions on this issue. But this is properly 
documented in vxcmd doc.

No clue when it exactly returns false and when a numerical error. I 
just test for both for those functions. It is a bit of nuisance to 
maintain 3 different central error handlers, but I just got used to 
it. I guess it is a price for multi-environment support.
