RECOVER 

Recovers all versions of a file.

Syntax 

     REC[OVER] [filename [U[NLOCK]]]

Parameters 

Filename                  Name of the file you want to recover.  If it is
                          not specified, the current Edit file will be
                          recovered.

UNLOCK                    Is an option you may use for quick recovery if
                          you were not making modifications to your file
                          when the abnormal termination occurred.

Description 

The Recover command may be needed after a system failure or other
abnormal termination of TOOLSET/XL. This command requires that you have
exclusive access to the file being recovered.

During recovery, TOOLSET/XL creates a permanent scratch file.  It renames
this scratch file to the filename you have specified.  If an error occurs
during the renaming process, the file will be in your current workspace
group and account.

There are some conditions under which a file may not be recoverable, such
as an unreadable TSAM file directory.  If this occurs, you will be
advised to reload an old copy of the file.

Example 

     >>RECOVER Myfile

     -->Recovery complete.
