How does Progress define record scope?
FIX:
The record's scope, is the block in which it was first referenced in your procedure or in a calling procedure.
Use the COMPILE with the LISTING option to determine a record's scope.
Any reference to a record, before the first block in the program, scopes that record to the procedure block. The procedure block does not end until program ends. Therefore, record locks being held until the end of the record scope are held for the duration of the program, even if you explicitly release the record with the RELEASE statement.
