Recovery Procedure
EDIT Error Recovery Procedure
B–2 058061 Tandem Computers Incorporated
Recovery Procedure You can perform one recovery procedure from the EDIT program. When
you receive an error message, look up the message in Appendix A, “EDIT
Error Messages.” If you receive the following error message:
THIS FILE IS INVALID. DO YOU WANT TO RECOVER?
follow this error recovery procedure:
1. Respond with “no” or “n”.
2. Exit the EDIT program by typing:
*EXIT
3. Use the FUP DUP command at the command interpreter to duplicate
the file to another file that you specify. For example:
FUP DUP SHAKE,SAVE
4. Reenter the EDIT program and edit the original file. For example:
EDIT SHAKE
5. This time, when EDIT displays the message:
THIS FILE IS INVALID. DO YOU WANT TO RECOVER?
respond with a “yes” or “y”.
6. Check the file. If there is no problem with the file, purge the duplicate
file that was not recovered after you exit the EDIT program. If there is a
problem with the file, send copies of the file, error messages, and any
related information to Tandem.
