The OPENINPUTSHARED option specifies whether files that you open for input, and for which you do not specify a LOCK MODE clause, can be shared by other users.
Syntax:
OPENINPUTSHARED
=
{
ON
}
{
OFF
}
Parameters:
- ON
- Other users can have the file open for INPUT only.
- OFF
- The system behaves as if you are specifying LOCK MODE IS MANUAL for the file. That is, other users can have the file open for I-O, provided they specify a LOCK MODE for the file.
