PRB: LOCKING Replaced with SHARE= in OPEN Statement

ID: Q149129

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Fortran PowerStation for Windows 95 and Windows NT, version 4.0

SYMPTOMS

The compiler (Fl32.exe) included with Microsoft Fortan PowerStation version 4.0 for Windows 95 and Windows NT does not support the LOCKING statement used in previous versions of the Microsoft Fortran compiler.

RESOLUTION

The OPEN statement's SHARE= option replaces the LOCKING feature.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.

MORE INFORMATION

The SHARE= option does not have the same functionality that the LOCKING statement had. The SHARE= option does not support the locking of individual or groups of records. The SHARE= option can only be used to lock or restrict access to an entire file's contents.
