1.) NOSHR

NOSHR	indicates that the current workstation has exclusive access to the file. No other OPENs are permitted to the open file until the open file has been closed. NOSHR is the Business Rules default.
SHRI	allows' others to use the file for input only. It is possible for others to read but not to change a file opened SHRI.
SHR	allows' others to read, write and update an open file. An individual record within internal and external files may be locked during use by specifying SHR, OUTPUT or SHR, OUTIN and reading the record.
SHRU	operates the same as SHR; it is maintained for IBM System/23 compatibility.
