The Ready statement performs an equivalent function as an
OPEN statement for a conventional file. It makes the
required area of the database available to the program.
The syntax is as follows:
SHARED
READY <area-name> USAGE-MODE IS PROTECTED RETRIEVAL
ALL EXCLUSIVE UPDATE
This statement begins a run-unit.
