Platform is AREV 2.12.

Have a client who has started receiving the message:

"Semaphore was Not Locked" after a write/unlock operation. The app hasn't changed and neither has the environment. Any ideas?

Guessing - sounds like the unlock call made it to the server, but the lock call didn't???

Which network environment, Don?

FLAG -T REV*.*

I've seen lock tables saturate on Netware 4.x servers with TTS enabled (by default) and rev files accidentally flagged +T.

Otherwise, unless there's a server attached (backup/CD) that doesn't accept locks, I don't know how such an error might arise.
