SET EXCLUSIVE

Class

Environment


Purpose

Determines whether or not table and index files are opened shareable


Syntax

SET EXCLUSIVE ON | OFF | (<expL>)


See Also

USE


Description

If SET EXCLUSIVE is ON when a table and its associated index files are opened, then the table and index files cannot be by another user until they are closed. If SET EXCLUSIVE is OFF when a table and its associated index files are opened, then the table and index files are shareable by multiple users. File and record locking to control concurrent updates to the table and index files is automatically enforced if EXCLUSIVE was OFF when the table was opened. The commands MODIFY STRUCTURE, PACK, REINDEX, INDEX ON (tags) and ZAP are the only commands that require a table to be opened exclusively. By default, EXCLUSIVE is ON.


Example

// Close today’s payments
procedure close_day 
  set exclusive on
  set view to accounts
  if used()
    select payments
    set dcache to reccount()
    set dcache on
    seek dtos(date())
    total on dtos(payment_date)+emp_no to (cdow(date));
    while payment_date = date()
    seek dtos(date())
    delete rest while payment_date = date()
    pack
  else
    dialog box "Cannot open payments exclusively."
  endif
  set exclusive off
  set view to payments
return
