unlock

The unlock command changes a constant into a variable and thus allows the user to change its value. This is particularly useful in functions and procedures needing to change the value of the data constant. Unlocking data gives the user complete freedom on the effective size of vectors. No check is done on data assignments, and therefore assigning a value to data that is superior to samples will result in a program crash. For this reason, it is always safer to change data using the set data command. It is not an error to unlock a variable. A warning message will be given though. However, trying to unlock something else than a constant or variable will result in an error.
