|
|
<div><p>The server uses the same input/output area for all programs sharing
|
||
|
|
the file, so the order of the operations is sequential regardless of which
|
||
|
|
program does the operation.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>For example, if Program A is reading records sequentially
|
||
|
|
from a database file and it reads record 1 just before calling Program B,
|
||
|
|
and Program B also reads the file sequentially, Program B reads record 2 with
|
||
|
|
the first read operation. If Program B then ends and Program A reads the
|
||
|
|
next record, it receives record 3. If the programs were not sharing the file,
|
||
|
|
Program A would read record 1 and record 2, and Program B would read record
|
||
|
|
1.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>For device files, the device remains in the same state as the last I/O
|
||
|
|
operation.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>For display and ICF files, programs other than the first program that opens
|
||
|
|
the file can acquire more display or program devices or release display or
|
||
|
|
program devices already acquired to the open data path. All programs sharing
|
||
|
|
the file have access to the newly acquired devices, and do not have access
|
||
|
|
to any released devices.</p>
