The **SkipHeldRecords **property contains a value that tells the file manager how to react when it encounters held records. See the //Language Reference// for more information on [[hold  exclusive record access .htm|HOLD]].

A value of one (1) skips or omits the held record and continues processing; a value of zero (0) aborts the current operation.

**Implementation:**

The Init method sets the SkipHeldRecords property to a value of zero (0).

The Next, TryNext, Previous, and TryPrevious methods implement the action specified by the SkipHeldRecords property when an attempt to read a record fails because the record is held.
