APPENDIX1.2.8 Recovering After an Abend



When an abend occurs after issuing the SAVE subcommand of EDIT because there is not enough space (B37, D37, E37) in your data set or on the volume in which your data set resides, message IKJ52432A is issued. Termination does not occur, even if all attempts to save the data set are unsuccessful. You can respond to the system prompt with one of the following options:



   Using the RETAIN option allows you to end your edit session and then 
   perform any space recovery measures necessary to obtain additional space. 
   The RECOVER operand on the EDIT command can be used to recover your data 
   set during your next edit session. Refer to "Recovering After a System 
   Failure" in topic APPENDIX1.2.7 for the correct procedure. 


   When your edit session is terminated by a system, operator, or time 
   allocation (abend code X22), the EDIT work file is checkpointed and 
   retained, if any modifications were made. This allows you to invoke EDIT's 
   recovery feature after your next logon is issued. For any other abends, 
   you are prompted for END or SAVE through a message. If you do not enter 
   SAVE or END, you are terminated immediately. The EDIT work file is 
   retained, if modifications have been made. If SAVE is issued and the 
   attempt is unsuccessful, the edit session is terminated. However, the work 
   file data set is retained if modifications were made, and you see a 
   message. 


   See OS/390 TSO/E Messages for more information about the messages in this 
   part.
