Thanks, but I didn't want to try randomly trying things.  Once you start
with ;SHR, something else will happen and next thing you know, I'll need
to specify ;MULTI or ;GMULTI or the Domain, then any number items down
the slippery slope :FILE lets you do.  Finally after all that effort,
one finds the two programs need to access the same file two incompatible
ways.

I'm trying to figure that out up front without trying all the
combinations.

Have you tried FILE ABC=ABC;SHR

I'm having a little trouble with a 3rd party program wanting to access
files that are already opened by our 2nd party program.

It was recommended that I append ";LOCK" parameter to a file equation
before running the program, but I still get:

"Dynamic LOCKING was specified on a previous OPEN of this file, and
dynamic LOCKING was not specified."

So I'm wondering, given the nearly infinite combinations of possible
FILE parameters I could use, what did I miss?

example:  FILE ABC=ABC;LOCK
