Problem Note 20208: The ACCESS=READONLY option in the CATNAME statement is not working correctly
 |  |  |  |  |
When using the ACCESS=READONY option in the CATNAME statement with an implicit catalog concatenation within and explicit concatenation, only the catalog in the first level of the implicit concatenation is being marked as read-only.
If multiple processes are running in a step, a catalog may be locked with an update open because the read-only option is not being honored.
This problem is corrected in SAS® 9.2.
