PFMBTO

[Josh Reader]

I'm using 5.8.02.08D6 on CentOS 7.  In my below sample I didn't show that I have an end command on the next line after the msgbox command.

For instance the table in filePro that has our customer orders in it has programming using a browse lookup to press I to view inspections associated with the order.  Sometimes that is left open by an end user who walks away from their desk and causes a lock on the record so it can't be updated.

When running in a batch situation, this would keep the processing from halting (waiting for user import), correct?  I can't seem to make this work, and am wondering if my expectations are not correct.
