If I READ ... UPDATE and then decide not to REWRITE/DELETE/UNLOCK, what happens to the lock? Stuck until end of task?

Lock stays until REWRITE, DELETE, UNLOCK, or SYNCPOINT. End of task does an implicit syncpoint so it clears eventually.
Still a bad habit. UNLOCK if you bail out early so the next task is not waiting on you.
