Note: In this documentation, the term "operation"
refers to any SAS procedure, statement, or command. ![[cautionend]](../../../../common/61925/HTML/default/images/cautend.gif)
The SAS/SHARE lock manager facility
enables multiple clients
to share the same SAS file concurrently. Using a set of complex locking rules,
the lock manager evaluates each incoming client request for access to SAS
data objects while monitoring the status of all other client activities. The
lock manager grants access to a specific data object by locking the data
object, and denies all other requests for the locked data object until an
operation has been executed or the lock has been cleared explicitly.
