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

Retrieves the present record from a file and locks the record. If the record
is already 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 EXTERNAL BEGIN THIS, enabling you to retieve
the previous record in a file.
The reference of the record is written to the target noun REFERENCE.

EXTERNAL GET WAIT LOCK THIS in file FILE

locked.
