Recovery Procedures EDIT VS has seven different recovery procedures. When you receive an
error message, look up the message in Appendix D, “EDIT VS Error
Messages.” Then, if indicated, see the appropriate error recovery procedure
described in the following paragraphs.
Recovery Procedure A 1. If the error message includes the recovery file name, write this file name
on a piece of paper. If the error message does not include the recovery
file name, use the ?FILES command (explained earlier in this appendix
under “EDIT VS Recovery File”) to find the name of the recovery file.
Then write this file name on a piece of paper.
2. At the asterisk prompt, type:
*XVS
This command returns you to EDIT VS.
3. Use the numbered function keys to page through the EDIT file. Check
to see if the file is correct. If the file is not correct, go to Step 4. If the file
is correct, continue editing—you do not need to recover.
4. Press SF16 (EXIT) to return to EDIT.
5. Before you recover into the current EDIT file, you must check the
recovery file and make sure it is correct. Type:
*GET filename
where filename is the name of a new EDIT file. For example:
*GET SAVE
$WORK.FICTION.SAVE DOES NOT EXIST. SHALL I CREATE IT? yes
CURRENT FILE IS $WORK.FICTION.SAVE
