                        A work file is opened at the time when it is first accessed by a
                                   given READ WORK FILE
                                   or WRITE WORK FILE
                                   statement. This means that only those work files which are actually accessed
                                   are opened, while the contents of unopened work files are not deleted.

                        All work files referenced in a Natural object are opened when the
                                   execution of this object starts. (This may delete the content of a work file
                                   when closing if the work file was referenced by a
                                   WRITE WORK FILE
                                   statement that was never executed.)
