Unprocessed new records in table &

What causes this issue?

A lock should be set on table &V1&. However, before setting the lock it
was determined that unprocessed, new records exist in the table. It is
for this reason that the lock to table &V1& was not carried out.
The records found possibly come from a previous update that has been
terminated. Further processing would lead to inconsistent data in table
&V1&.

System Response

The lock cannot be set.

How to fix this error?

Delete the unprocessed new records from table &V1& and restart the
process that was terminated by the lock management. In order to delete
the unprocessed new records from the table use the delete function in
the Monitor.
