Can I ignore locks on files when I open them for Input?

Problem:

There are times when you open a file for input and are reading thru the file and get a file lock status (9/068) on a record.  

Resolution:

You can set the filehandler option IGNORELOCK  in the configuration file extfh.cfg  to Ignore locks when reading Input files.

The IGNORELOCK option specifies whether to ignore locks on files open for Input.  

IGNORELOCK= {ON|OFF}

Default:    OFF
