To everyone who uses SAS/SHARE with SCL: It is very important to check the returncodes! IF you use rc=FETCH() of rc=FETCHOBS() it is important to check these before you use getvar() or putvar(). These returncodes indicate if you have access to update the record. e.g. If rc=-650054 then you cannot update the record To lock an entire dataset or library for e.g. sorting you can use the LOCK () function in SCL. (for the returncodes you can check SAS/SCL reference V6 pp 193-199) It is not easy to make an application with SAS/SHARE foolproof! MAny returncodes have to be checked and handled. Otherwise lots of program halted's is the result
