What is the purpose of a READY?..

Answer / geekshiraj

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.
