APPENDIX1.2.5 Recovering an EDIT Work File



In the event of an abnormal termination, the recovery facility of EDIT enables you to recover changes or modifications made during an edit session (applicable in foreground only). To recover the work file after an abnormal termination has occurred during an edit session, the EDIT command should be reissued specifying the RECOVER operand, along with any other operands specified initially. This facility is optional to both the installation and/or the TSO user.

   Certain specifications must be met before a work file becomes recoverable. 
   They are: 




   If the conditions above are met, EDIT creates a work file and updates it 
   while your edit session progresses. If the edit session terminates 
   normally, the work file is deleted immediately upon termination. If the 
   edit session is terminated abnormally, the work file is kept and made 
   available at the beginning of your next edit session.
