FILESHARE

Causes the default locking to become AUTOMATIC rather than EXCLUSIVE for files in a multi-user environment, and automatically locks records on a WRITE or REWRITE statement when the program is locking multiple records.

Note: This directive is included for compatibility with earlier file-sharing products. When writing new programs you should use the locking syntax mentioned below rather than this directive.
