ACCESS

Redirect to:

• OPEN#File ACCESS and LOCK Permissions

The ACCESS clause is used in an OPEN statement when working over a network.

Syntax

OPEN "file.dat" FOR APPEND [ACCESS {READ|WRITE}] AS #1

Description

• Valid Options:
  • Default: When specified, all other processes are denied file access.
  • READ: When specified, read access is denied to other file procedures.
  • WRITE: When specified, write access is denied to other file procedures.
  • READ WRITE: When specified any access is denied to other file procedures.

Limitations

• If another process already has access to a specified file, program access is denied for that file OPEN access. A "Permission Denied" error 70 will be returned. A network program must be able to handle a denial of access error.
