Re: TAATOOL/RTVDLTRCD

Bill,


Dave McKenzie (I hope that's the right name) created the UNDEL programs
with
a Program State of *SYSTEM. These typically hiccup upon system restores
due
to the system value QVFYOBJRST. Is it possible the UNDEL programs do not
exist because this system value would not allow them to be restored?


Yes, Dave is the author of both UNDEL (actual program name of UNDELM) which
you packaged with WRKDBF, and later UNDEL2.

UNDELM used a MI program which had its instructions patched so it could
access the space of the deleted record directly, without using a SAVF. This
made it very, very fast. But due to the QVFYOBJRST tightening of
restrictions in later OS versions, Dave created UNDEL2 which, like TAA's
RTVDLTRCD, uses the paradigm of first copying the object to a SAVF.
