shared lock
Lock, that allows other users to set further shared locks but no simultaneous
exclusive locks for the locked data. The
Open SQL statement
SELECT without the addition FOR UPDATE, as well as the corresponding
Native SQL statement, do not set (by default) a corresponding
database lock for the addressed lines. A shared lock is set as an
SAP lock via a correspondingly parameterized call of a
lock function module.
