Lock objects are use in SAP to avoid the inconsistancy at the time of data is being insert/change into database.

SAP Provide three type of Lock objects.  

- Read Lock(Shared Locked) 
   protects read access to an object. The read lock allows other  transactions read access but not write access to the locked area of  the table

- Write Lock(exclusive lock) 
   protects write access to an object. The write lock allows other  transactions neither read nor write access to the locked area of the  table.

- Enhanced write lock (exclusive lock without cumulating) 
  works like a write lock except that the enhanced write lock also  protects from further accesses from the same transaction.

 

 

Steps:

Go to SE11 transaction and create a lock object for the table .Custom lock object
name should be start with EY or EZ.

 

 

After activating lock object Function Module will be generated automatically. 

Function Modules name will be like  ENQUEUE_<LOCK_OBJECT_NAME> and DEQUEUE_<LOCK_OBJECT_NAME>.

 

 

 

Foe Example:

For example you have created a lock object EZSFLIGHT for the SFLIGHT table .

So first lock the table , then update then release the lock.

 

Check this code —

 

DATA : t_itab like table of SFLIGHT,

fs_itab like SFLIGHT.

 

fs_itab-carrid = ‘AA’.

fs_itab-connid = ’0017′.

.

.

.

APPEND fs_itab TO t_itab.

.

.

.

CALL FUNCTION ‘ENQUE_EZSFLIGHT’ ” SET lock to the table

EXPORTING

CARRID = ….

CONNID = ….

.

.

IF sy-subrc eq 0.

INSERT sflight from table t_itab. ” Update the DB table

ENDIF.

 

CALL FUNCTION ‘ENQUE_EZSFLIGHT’ ” Unlock the table

EXPORTING

CARRID = ….

CONNID = ….

.
