Control Center lock

Hi.

We just experienced an odd phenomenon in Control Center.
One of my colleagues just performed a browse on a table and accidentally
changed a value in the resultset. He didn't press OK or anything, he
didn't even press enter to commit the change in the grid, he just
altered a value in a cell of the result grid.

But doing so, he made control center starting a transaction (but by not
pressing OK he did not end the transaction, so CC had an exclusive lock
on that record)

Why is this? Why doesn't control center just perform a transaction the
moment you press OK?

Or why doesn't CC present a warning light or something anywhere in the
screen indicating you're hogging the DB?

Wait wait wait...
I know this one myself..
Data could be altered and you could be working with phantom records.

Hi, I was just searching for the string "internal L lock" in the DB2 Information Center.

Hi! On a form I have a calendar. The form is rezised to 1024x768 (Don't worry - this is a training case) when loaded. Now I want to center the calendar on the form so that its edges are equally far from the upper, right, left and bottom borders of the form. I understand I must use the location property, am I right?
