1.9 About the lock error retry and trial-open functions
The lock error retry function retries to access files and folders when a lock error# occurs during execution of a command or statement that accesses files and folders.
The trial-open function tries to open the file immediately after the TextClose command is executed to close a file to which data was written by the TextOpen command. This confirms that the data has been written to the disk.
Because typical Windows file systems use a disk write cache, a disk write delay might occur at the device level. Therefore, if a disk write delay has occurred, an attempt to execute the command or statement that accesses files and folders might fail due to a lock error. The lock error retry function and the trial-open function allow you to recover errors caused by a disk write delay during execution of a command or statement.
Note: A lock error code has occurred if either of the following error codes is output:
-
0032: A process cannot access a file because another process is using the file.
-
0005: Access was denied. Recheck file attributes or security.
