LOTUSSCRIPT LANGUAGE

Synchronization functions
LotusScript 4.0 (in Domino 5.0) includes a new set of primitives to allow LotusScript agents to synchronize with one another:

CreateLock―finds the lock ID associated with Name. If none exists, the Lock ID is created.

DestroyLock―removes the current link to the lock specified. If the number of links is zero, the lock is destroyed.

CodeLock―acquires the lock specified by ID. If the lock is already held by another agent, the thread stalls until the lock becomes available.

CodeUnlock―releases the lock, making it available for the next agent requesting it.

CodeLockCheck―returns the number of agents waiting for the the specified lock, plus 1.

Sleep―causes a script to pause for at least the number of seconds specified.
