This article was previously published under Q31926 SUMMARY
If a file is opened, locked with the LOCK statement, and then the
power is cut off, the file can still be accessed after rebooting the
machine. However, the portion of the file that was written after the
file was last closed will be lost. Microsoft cannot guarantee the data
integrity of a file left open when there is a power failure;
consequently some of the data may become corrupt.
