Assuming SHARE *NO, and two programs: If PGM1 and PGM2 both have an F spec for a file, they would not be sharing the file. If they both do a READ, they will each get the first record. However, if they are calling a service program instead of using their own F specs, and they both call the "read" procedure, then PGM1 will get the first record and PGM2 will get the second record.
