Article Last Modified on 11/2/1999
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Fortran PowerStation for Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0
This article was previously published under Q149129
SYMPTOMS
The compiler (Fl32.exe) included with Microsoft Fortan PowerStation version
4.0 for Windows 95 and Windows NT does not support the LOCKING
statement used in previous versions of the Microsoft Fortran compiler.
RESOLUTION
The OPEN statement's SHARE= option replaces the LOCKING feature.
STATUS
This behavior is by design.
MORE INFORMATION
The SHARE= option does not have the same functionality that the LOCKING
statement had. The SHARE= option does not support the locking of individual
or groups of records. The SHARE= option can only be used to lock or
restrict access to an entire file's contents.
