Retrieves the next record from a file. If the record is locked by another user, it immediately returns with a message of "conflict" in EXTERNAL ECHO and a status of 3 in FILE STATUS. This is particularly useful after having positioned the file pointer directly ahead of a record with the verb BEGIN. The reference of the record is written to the target noun REFERENCE.
