<h1 class="topictitle1">Example 3: A single set of files with different processing requirements</h1>
<div><p>This example shows the methods that can be used if some programs
need read-only file processing and others need some or all of the options
(input/update/add/delete).</p>
<div class="section"><p>The same methods apply if a file is to be processed with certain
command parameters in some programs and not in others (for example, sometimes
the commit option should be used).</p>
<p>A single Open Database File (OPNDBF)
command can be used to specify OPTION(*ALL) and the open data path would be
opened shared (if, for example, a previous Override with Database File (OVRDBF)
command was used to specify SHARE(*YES)). Each program can then open a subset
of the options. The program requests the type of open depending on the specifications
in the program. In some cases this does not require any more considerations
because a program specifying an open for input only would operate similarly
as if it had not done a shared open (for example, no additional record locking
occurs when a record is read).</p>
</div>
<div class="section"><p>However, some options specified on the OPNDBF command can affect
how the program operates. For example, SEQONLY(*NO) is specified on the open
command for a file in the program. An error would occur if the OPNDBF command
used SEQONLY(*YES) and a program attempted an operation that was not valid
with sequential-only processing.</p>
</div>
<div class="section"><p>The ACCPTH parameter must also be consistent with the way programs
will use the access path (arrival or keyed).</p>
</div>
<div class="section"><p>If COMMIT(*YES) is specified on the OPNDBF command and the Start
Commitment Control (STRCMTCTL) command specifies LCKLVL(*ALL) or LCKLVL(*CS),
any read operation of a record locks that record (per commitment control record
locking rules). This can cause records to be locked unexpectedly and cause
errors in the program.</p>
</div>
<div class="section"><p>Two OPNDBF commands can be used for the same data (for example,
one with OPTION(*ALL) and the other specifying OPTION(*INP)). The second use
must be a logical file pointing to the same physical file(s). This logical
file can then be opened as SHARE(*YES) and multiple uses made of it during
the same job.</p>
