Locking and unlocking of tables

Locking and unlocking of tables

We can use the function modules ENQUEUE_E_TABLE for locking tables and the function module DEQUEUE_E_TABLE for unlocking tables. With this method, we don't need to lock objects in order to lock the tables. In other words, any table can be locked/unlocked using these function modules.
