using same exact file name

HI I am trying to understand one thing. I am looking at a program we have,
that tells the user
if there a record is locked. The user enters the order#. The program has
the same file entered as this. Without change of rename of format name.
** Receipts file by reception date
FSRBSOH UF E K DISK
** Receipts file again for Landed Costs
FSRBPOH UF E K DISK

From what I recall, I used to use RENAME usually when you had 2 logicals.

But what is the
reason to use the same exact name twice?

From what I read in the code, the user who has the lock can hit F5 and the

lock goes away.

But only the user holding a lock. I am also trying to see if I could get
the lock off. Because handling help desk ticket this is easier than having
them go in thru the ERP menus to do it.
