Re: Implicit Access Path Sharing

[Larry Bolhuis <lbolhui@xxxxxxx>]

Bob,

  If the files are Shared opens (SHARE(*YES) on the OVRDBF or on when
created or previously changed with CHGLF or CHGPF) then fileA and
FileB will be on the same record.  If SHARE(*NO) is in effect then the
files have individual cursors.

  The sharing of Access Paths has no bearing on the pointers to the
files from within the program.
