write with lock

[Katla]

I am running same program 5 instances with different inputs but same output files. This program has one ISAM file and sequential file.

ISAM file is getting populated correctly. But I am having problem with sequential file. It is giving the record breaks (half record from one program and another from other program). How can I avoid this problem?

I want to another program to wait while other program is populating the sequential file

Help please!!.

Thanks.

Katla,
If you want each of the five programs to add data to the sequential file, open the sequential file as 'extend'. Hope this helps
