low definitions to be created when the UPDATE-DICT option of the
COPYLIB command is ON. Others can also access the dictionary.
SHARED-UPDATE Allows you to read definitions and create definitions when the UP-
DATE-DICT option of the COPYLIB command is ON. Others can also

EXCLUSIVE- UPDATE Allows you to read definitions and create definitions when the
UPDATE-DICT option of the COPYLIB command is ON. No one else
can access the dictionary.
The initial default is to open the dictionary in SHARED-UPDATE mode.
name-mode Specifies which group of names (internal or external) you wish to use. Options are:
INTERNAL Uses internal names. Internal names can never change.
EXTERNAL Uses external names. External names are fully customizable and lo-
calizable.
The default for the first open is EXTERNAL.
