-106 ISAM error: non-exclusive access.

The ISAM processor has been asked to add or drop an index but it does not have exclusive access. For C-ISAM programs, the file must be opened with exclusive access before you perform this operation. Review the program logic, and make sure that it opens this file by passing the ISEXCLLOCK flag to isopen. For SQL products, the database server returns this error when an exclusive lock is required on a table. For example, this error appears when a second user tries to alter a table that the first user has locked. Or the ISAM processor could not obtain access to the requested table or index because it has been opened exclusively by another user. This condition is normally transient, retry operation after some delay.
