So to expand my question a bit, and again if I am wrong, correct me.
I have the file defined as an update file with add capability.
I perform the following on that file
Setgt *hival File1
ReadP File1
So if another process attempts the SAME action, as long as I have that
record in this state it stays locked correct? Meaning no other process is
going to be able to read that file in the same manner.

The record read is locked, not the file.

Correct me if I am wrong here, but when using a file in update mode
and
you perform a readp on the file, does that not lock that file?
