SUMMARY

Screens created with the Screen Wizard do not alter the setting of SET EXCLUSIVE. In order to use a screen that was created with the Screen Wizard in a multiuser environment, you must issue the SET EXCLUSIVE OFF command before running the screen.

MORE INFORMATION

NOTE: A database can be opened as SHARED without issuing SET EXCLUSIVE OFF prior to opening the database.
