Answer / abhishek kumar

In most of the cases files(*file) will be locked.
Reason: If any program is using that particular file.

Answer / samul

File object locked when file open in update mode or file
allocated excl in cl using cmd ALLOBJ.

Answer / sankar prosad mohanta

Abhishek is correct, but we can avoid this file locking,
specifying 'N' in 53 position of File Description Spec,
where the file is defined in the program.

Answer / keshar jain

@Shankar:
We can use N on position 53 in CHAIN if file is in Update
mode. For other mode we can't specify N.

Answer / ravi

When a file is declared in UF mode. U - Update, F - Fully procedural file.

When you do a read, it locks the particular record making it unavailable for any other programs. This is to protect the data integrity.

Once you do the update, the lock will be released. If you do not want the lock, you can specify Read(N), but you cannot update. You can also UNLCK opcode to release the lock.

Also, each time you update, you need to lock it.

If you do ALCOBJ you can lock it exclusively. This will not even allow basic functions on the object like read/display. And vice versa too. Any *SHRRD locks like read/display will not allow exclusive lock.

Q:Hi all,i want accurate answer with code using in built functions.please sent me code as soon as posible. I have program nmed PGM1 which '' RETRIEVE Current production date''should correctly default the production date for the user who is issuing raw materials to the manufacturing.The production date can be different from the celendra date. However, the program does not make the correct adjustment for all manufacturing plants. there is a parameter which determines the production start time e.g. 07:00 if the system time precedes this,the program subtracts one from the celendra day.This work fine when the celendar day starts after production day as it does in England,the system should be adding one to the celendar day during the overlap. unfortunately the program was desined to assumed the celendar day always starts before the production day. Change required in the program: Change the PROGRAM PGM1 to use the new parrameter to decide whether to add or subtract 1 from the celendar day when determining the production date.
