You would have to upgrade.

Starting in WebFOCUS 7.6, a New Feature is availabe to lock an EXCEL
spreadsheet at run time from within a WebFOCUS procedure. The new settings are
part of the StyleSheet portion of a procedure:
TYPE=REPORT, PROTECTED={ON|OFF}, [LOCKED={ON|OFF}],$

PROTECTED=ON
. Required to lock a spreadsheet.
. If the LOCKED=OFF attribute is omitted, the entire spreadsheet is locked.

PROTECTED=OFF
. Spreadsheet is not locked. Default behavior.

LOCKED=ON
. Locks the entire spreadsheet with PROTECTED=ON

LOCKED=OFF
. Unlocks the spreadsheet as a whole, but enables you to lock or unlock
specific cells or groups of cells.

TYPE=type,[COLUMN=columnspec],LOCKED={ON|OFF},$


In Focus since 1993. WebFOCUS 7.7.03 Win 2003
It just so happens that we are in the process of upgrading to 7.6.11.
I will be trying this code on the new version, thanks ever so much.
