OPENINPUTSHARED

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.
Properties:
Default: OFF
