If your user profile contains the RECOVER attribute and you are using permanent EDIT work files, EDIT creates a work file during your edit session, which can be used as input to recover any modification made to your data set in the event of a line disconnect or system failure.
Through the use of the CKPOINT subcommand of EDIT and the RECOVER operand of the EDIT command, you are given the opportunity to recover the modifications made to your data set prior to the disconnect.
If your user profile contains the NORECOVER attribute and you are using temporary EDIT work files, the system attempts to copy your edited data set (with all changes) into a data set with an intermediate qualifier name of EDITSAVE. This data set can be edited the next time you log on.
