GET WAIT THIS GWT Standard Verb File Access Operation
Target = REFERENCE (RF), EXTERNAL ECHO (XE), FILE STATUS (FST)

Retrieves the present record from a file. If the record is locked by another
user, it waits until the record becomes free.
This is particularly useful after having positioned the file pointer directly
ahead of a record with the verb BEGIN THIS, enabling you to retieve the
previous record in a file.
The reference of the record is written to the target noun REFERENCE.

GET WAIT THIS in file FILE

FILE is the name of the file to be accessed.
