Example Showing Use of the Sharing Field

Following is a brief description of a situation where you would need to enter a value for the Sharing field. Suppose your model includes a BREED file that is Known by Breed code and that the HORSE file is Owned by BREED. The Owned by relation causes Breed code to become a key entry on HORSE giving HORSE two keys, Breed code and Horse code. To indicate that a horse can be bred only with another horse of the same breed (same Breed code), enter *ALL for the Sharing field. To indicate that a horse can be bred with a horse of a different breed, enter *NONE for the Sharing field.
