Re: Retrieving Deleted records

[Joseph Wechsler <ywexler@xxxxxxx>]

Steven,
1. Save the file into a *savf.
2. Create a PF (without DDS) rec. len. 528.
3. Create (write & compile) a program to copy the file (the *savf to
PF).
   The program uses input and output PFs 528 bytes rec. len.
4. OVRDBF for the input file to *savf.
5. Run the pgm.
6. The output file contains in every record 2 flds
   a. 512 bytes - the object saved.
   b.  16 bytes - reserved.
7. CRTDUPOBJ of the file you need to undelete its recs.
8. Write, create & run a pgm to copy the data in 512 bytes fld into the
file (7) above.
9. Deleted records will appear the 1'st byte changed to indicate a
deleted record.
10.Replace the deletion code by the genuine byte.
11.EOJ.
