can someone please tell me the difference between cisam and disam.

Hi list,

can someone please tell me the difference between cisam and disam. We have 
been told that we may have to use lock/unlock syntax to cisam ( or disam ) 
as there can be issues with syntax like that below when accessing Oracle,

get recname using "val" via item
lock recname record
let counter=counter + 1
let newreckey = counter
put recname reset

Has anyone else experience of this issue ?

( I subscribed to this list some months ago but had to sign up again today - 
is there a time out, as is the case with hotmail's 30 day period ? )

thanks Bri,
