Shared Lock

[Former Member]

I am using a customized screen to upload a material. How to perform a shared lock... for eg., if a user is editing a particular material(m100) then if any other user tries to edit the same material, he should not be able to edit... he should be able to only view the details in that screen.

Hi,

You need to create a lock object for this table. Then first thing you need to do in the program is try to attain a lock on the perticular record that you want to edit that you can do it by using the FM that is generated once you create the lock object. The FM will be ENQUEUE_XXXX.. If you get the lock that is if this call to FM is sucessful then you can proceed to edit else raise an error message that somebody else is editing the same record.

2.Select object type Lock object in the initial screen of the ABAP Dictionary, enter an object name and choose Create. The name of a lock object should begin with an E (Enqueue).

hi

good

One type of lock is the shared lock.

Once a shared lock is assigned to a transaction for a particular data object, concurrent transactions can access the object but not modify it. Other transactions can set a shared lock, but not an exclusive lock for this object.

Shared locks refer to a row or a table.
