Re: Restore deleted records in a journaled file

Hi everyone,

I just messed up big time and deleted almost all the records in a
journaled file while using interactive sql. Is there a way I can recover
the deleted records or rollback the delete without resorting to restoring
from last night's backup?

I (fortunately) haven't had to do this for a while and I can't find my notes
but working from memory...

1) DSPJRN to an outfile selecting Outfile format *TYPE2. You can subset
your selection to user or entry type or whatever to get only the records you
want.

2) Run a query over the outfile from 1) to another outfile. Select only
field JOESD to get your data into another outfile.

3) Create an empty copy of your production database file.

4) Do a CPYF FMTOPT(*NOCHK) from the output of 2) to 3). After confirming
the data is good, you can then copy this file into your production file.
