Creates and locks a lockfile. Similar to the behavior of MvLOCKFILE without the closing /MvLOCKFILE behavior. It also creates the exact filename, rather than appending ".lck" to the filename as MvLOCKFILE does.
Syntax 
miva_lockfile( path, location )
Returns 1 if sucessful, -1 if fails
  • path = fully qualified path to the file
  • location = location of the file - 'data' or 'script'
  • Use fdelete() or sdelete() to delete the lockfile.
