QTP file/record locking

[Kesterson, Roger]

PH 7.10.G2, OpenVMS 7.1

I need to run QTP to update what could be thousands of records in a
particular file during the day while other users are in the system in QUICK
and QUIZ, and I don't want to prevent them from accessing the same file for
read and write.  They will not be going after any of the records that QTP
will be updating.  If I am understanding the manual, I should be able to
accomplish this by using "SET LOCK RECORD UPDATE", and using an ALIAS on the
OUTPUT.  Is this correct?

Thanks in advance for your advice.
