Thank you everyone!

ON

(The default for the global data session.) Limits accessibility of a

table opened on a network to the user who opened it. The table isn't

accessible to other users on the network. Unlike FLOCK( ), SET

EXCLUSIVE ON also prevents all other users from having read-only

access. A file can also be opened on a network for exclusive use by

including the EXCLUSIVE clause with the USE command. It isn't

necessary to perform record or file locking on a table opened for

exclusive use.

Opening a table for exclusive use ensures that the file can't be

changed by other users. For some commands, execution isn't possible

until a table is opened for exclusive use. These commands are

INSERT, INSERT BLANK, MODIFY STRUCTURE, PACK, REINDEX, and ZAP.
