HI!

The lock object we create through data dictionary is it client dependent or user dependent ??

Secondly, what is the utility of using our own lock objects in a report when the locking facility is already there as default in SAP.

Hi Amit,

All dictionary Objects like Views,Domains lock objects etc and most of the repository objects like Programs, Fun modules are client independent.

Using the locking in SAP is entirely up to the programmer. You need to set the lock

(as you are doing) and when you're modifying you also need to check the lock before modifying.

So if, as you say, you lock the object, the corresponding place where you modify the

object also needs to check the lock.

If, for example, you are trying to set a lock on a Z table and then go to SM30 to

modify the table, the lock is totally ignored. The programmer is responsible for

both sides of the lock...

Also look at this link....

For the Z* created lock objects....

Amit, Locks are client dependent(like your application data is client dependent in SAP ),

you create your locks to lock Z* tables. there are locks provided by SAP too for SAP tables.
