Documentation
Definition
A lock object is a virtual link of several SAP tables which is used to synchronize simultaneous access by two users to the same set of data (SAP lock concept).
Locks are requested and released in the programming of online transactions by calling certain function modules which are automatically generated from the definition of the lock objects. These lock objects must be explicitly created in the ABAP Dictionary.
To set locks, you must perform the following steps:
- You must define a lock object in the ABAP Dictionary. The name of the lock object should begin with E.
- The function modules for requesting and releasing locks which are created automatically when the lock object is activated must be linked to the programming of the relevant online transactions.
