| Qualifiers |
 | /Fail=LABEL | Label to which to branch if the statement fails.
If LABEL is %EXIT, exit the routine or loop.
If in a loop, and LABEL is %CONTINUE, continue the loop. If not in a loop, and LABEL is %CONTINUE, an error message displays. | | |
| | /Succeed=LABEL | Label to which to branch if the statement succeeds.
If LABEL is %EXIT, exit the routine or loop. If in a loop, and LABEL is %CONTINUE, continue the loop. If not in a loop, and LABEL is %CONTINUE, an error message displays. | | |
| | /Nofail | Do not signal an error. Instead, set the
internal variable %FAIL. | | |
| | /Flush | Flush the record stream so that the record is physically on disk. |
| | /Load | Use the load factor of the RMS datafile if specified. |
| | /Lock=(lock_options, ... ) | Use the following lock options to lock the record if it is automatically retrieved (by accessing a field in that record). |
| | exclusive | | Lock against all other record streams except READ_REGARDLESS. |
| | manual | | Records remain locked until explicitly unlocked. |
| | none | | Records are not to be locked. |
| | nonexistent | | Proceed with the operation even if the record does not exist (RMS relative files only). |
| | nowait | | Do not wait if the record is locked (return an error). |
| | read | | Lock the record for reading while allowing other record streams to read but not modify (ignored if write also specified). |
| | read_regardless | | Read records even if another record stream has them locked. |
| | wait=n | | Wait n seconds before returning an error if the record is locked. |
| | write | | Lock the record for writing while allowing other record streams to read but not modify. |
| | /Size=n | Initialize the RMS variable length record to a size of n. |
