But, as I discovered yesterday, you can override to SHARE(*NO) after 
you've already got the file open once as shared, and open it non-shared 
(even in the same call-stack entry!). At least if you're using the C 
interface to record-level access. Which saves you, if you find out that 
a file has been set to open SHARE(*YES) by default, from having to close 
and reopen your first ODP if you need two separate ones. For details, 
see my thread, "Strange problem with an _Rreadk()," on the C list.
