Locking Sequential Files in QTP

[Terry Pickering]

I have a sample QTP run that demonstrates you can not access a SEQUENTIAL
file in more than one request within a QTP run.

In the example below, the file GLS-INTERFACE is a sequential file that has
just been built and is empty. The first request reads a file and outputs
records to the sequential file. The second request then reads the
sequential file and creates a subfile.

I've tried everything including alias names on the all of the files. Added
SET FILE and SET LOCK statements. Nothing prevents this from happening:
