Help Required

[mjohns@accubanc.com]

I am running Dec Alpha powerhouse 7.10g and needing to share files.

Currently previous programmers have written programs in qtp, allowing the
default locking to stay in place.

We are trying to help the qtp processes that only read and not update the files
to run faster and not lock the files that are being accessed.

We have found the commands SET LOCK RECORD UPDATE and the SET FILE {filename}
OPEN UPDATE SHARE or SET FILE {filename} OPEN READ SEMIEXCLUSIVE.

Does anyone know the differences or the best command to use in the qtp programs
that are for read only.
