When you do the SELECT INTO TABLE (rather than INTO CURSOR) does that not create a read-write free table that can be shared like any other? This technique has worked OK for me. However, I do think that once you issue the SELECT and the table is created, if you want to share it, you need to close it, then reopen it in shared mode.
