Hi,

Editor lock - Locks the program and no edits are possible once it is set.

Lock Object - Usually used to lock the records in Database Table or the whole Table for entries or changes.

Hi,

Editor Lock : This is to lock a program created by User 1 from editing by any other User. Say for eg. User "XYZ" has created a program and he doesnt want anyone else to edit/modify that program, then he can put Editor Lock so that no one else other than "XYZ" user would be able to edit/modify it.

Lock Object : Consider an example, where two Users say User 1 and User 2 wants to book railway ticket. Only 1 seat is remaining. The ticket information is updated in table ZTICKETS. This table can have tickets only from 1 to 10.

Now User 1 and User 2 approaches two different reservations counters and ask for the same train ticket. Now the table is Locked for User 1 and the ticket information is updated in ZTICKETS table so that the other User should not get the ticket. Otherwise two persons would be alloted the same ticket. So the table locking from simulatneous updates can be achieved through Lock Objects.
