Locked Record Update in Javascript

[dey]

We have a javascript that executes a "doSave" against locked records. When this script runs the user that has the record locked receives the "Record has changed since you selected it" message and looses all of their changes. Is there anyway to check if a record is locked within a javascript?

Thanks

Use doAction("save") instead. This checks for locks and you can check the return code and act according to it.

Well I tried this and I don't get the error that the record has changed since I selected it. The problem is we are using an ioaction and wanted to make some changes and were thinking that the ioaction would be re-scheduled if the record was locked.

Here is the code in question it an ioaction record:

var probsummary =newSCFile("probsummary");
var probsumquery ="number=\""+ vars.$L_file.number +"\"";
var impact =newSCFile("jpsysimpactedlob");
var impactquery ="number=\""+ vars.$L_file.number +"\" and assoc.table=\"probsummary\" and impacted=true";
if ( probsummary.doSelect( probsumquery ) == RC_SUCCESS )
{
var implobarray =newArray();
var impbuarray =newArray();
if ( impact.doSelect( impactquery ) == RC_SUCCESS )
{
var i=0;
do{
implobarray[i]=impact.lob_name;
impbuarray[i]=impact.impacted_bu;
i++;
}
while (impact.getNext() == RC_SUCCESS);
}
probsummary.jp_impacted_lobs = implobarray;
probsummary.jp_impacted_bus = impbuarray;
var updateresult =probsummary.doAction("save");
if ( updateresult != RC_SUCCESS)
{
if ( updateresult == RC_CANT_HAVE || updateresult ==51 )
{
var returnCode =system.library.interoperabilityHelpers.rescheduleA ction( probsummary,"jp.IM.updateImpacts");
}
}
else
{
var rootcause =newSCFile("rootcause");
var rcquery ="jp.parent.incident=\""+ vars.$L_file.number +"\"";
if ( rootcause.doSelect( rcquery ) == RC_SUCCESS )
{
rootcause.jp_impacted_lobs = implobarray;
rootcause.jp_impacted_bus = impbuarray;
var rcupdateresult =rootcause.doSave();
if ( rcupdateresult != RC_SUCCESS)
{
if ( rcupdateresult == RC_CANT_HAVE || rcupdateresult ==51 )
{
var returnCode =system.library.interoperabilityHelpers.rescheduleA ction( probsummary,"jp.IM.updateImpacts");
}
}
}
}
}

we have similar problems with locking is there a possibility to debug locking bugs?
