How to use Enqueue and Dequeue for a local report?

[former_member727610]

Hello,

I'm familiar with lock objects, but as far as i understand they are mostly used for table fields. How can i create a simple lock/unlock for a local report? I want just one user to be able to run a report via it's transaction at a time. If a second user tries to run the report while the first user is running it, i want to throw an error message. How can i manage this?

Yes, as you say, "they are mostly used for table fields". The word "mostly" is important, because technically speaking the locking is completely independent from database tables. It can be a DDIC structure. The tables are often used because it's more convenient, instead of creating a specific DDIC structure. You may create your own DDIC structure and that's it. Or even use an existing one like TRDIR for instance.
