I already tried the shr;lock;gmulti but it doesn't work.
 
I really need to back up a little here and describe in more detail as to  
what is going wrong.
 
I am processing circular files. This problem only occurs on circular files  
(regardless of whether the program
is in privmode or usermode). I have tried both. Put a zero on the file code 
 and call getusermode.
 
I am in a loop, thus:

START
 
end of list, go to EXIT loop
fopen circular file 
process it
fclose
go to START
 
EXIT loop here.
 
Well, the first fopen works successfully, gives me a file num > zeroes.  
Fine.
 
The problem occurs on the 2nd thru "n" th fopen -- the fopen fails and  
gives me a file num = zeroes.
 
So I thought by putting the subsequent calls to fopen in its own program  
that may solve the problem. 
Well, it kind of solves the problem except it is giving me conficting file  
numbers between mainline #1 & #2
 
I have been messing with this problem for over two weeks now and I cannot  
figure out why the subsequent
fopen's are failing. It has me beat.
