The UNLOCK operation is used to unlock data areas and release record locks.
To handle UNLOCK exceptions (program status codes 401-421, 431, and 432), either the operation code extender 'E' or an error indicator ER can be specified, but not both. For more information on error handling, see Program Exception/Errors.
Positions 71,72,75 and 76 must be blank.
For further rules for the UNLOCK operation, see Data-Area Operations.
