Re: RST Command Question - This is a QUIZ! (Answer) -- MIDRANGE-L

Seems to me that a little more testing is in order and some verification from Rochester before we all go nuts, but it sure is simpler to do 'RST *' than run all those bits and pieces. After reading all the posts, sume puzzled, some baffled, some explaining bits and pieces of what seems to have happened, I believe the part about restoring what was on the tape even though saved by a different command. I thing the part that amazed me the most was the RSTAUT being run at the end. Perhaps the RST command saw seurity information at the front end which causes the RSTAUT at the back end.

 Curious Indeed.

ps: So can we just do a SAV * and get the same result as a SAVE option 21?

As you know, although excluded from the SAV command, it WAS saved, only under a different file label, via the SAVLIB command. The default for the LABEL & SEQNBR parms of the RST command is *SEARCH, so it seems it'll go through all the files on the tape, looking for anything that matches the path stuff. And, as I discovered, it can process stuff saved by any SAV* command.
Curious

How can something that wasn't saved be restored?

It WAS Excluded as a SAVE option 21 does this by default. You can verify
this if you say Prompt 'Y' when you do the save.
