new system utility RCV MCR task to recover a file locked as a result of task abortion Original author R B French NOV 76 The Boeing Co /L switch added F. Borger MAR 77 Michael Reese /A switch, large file modifications, FEB 81 calling sequence MCR>RCV Filename[/SWitch] The normal REC[over] command will only unlock a file that was locked due to abnornal termination. After use, some files may end up 0 length due to the end of file indicators not being properly reset. RCV will unlock the file (if locked,) unless another task has write ac- cess. It will then scan the file and rewrite file attributes to reflect the actual size of the file (rather than 0). RCV has two legal switches: /LA:NNN Set number of records to be NNN /AD:NNN Change number of records by NNN (+/-) NNN must be a legal single-precision decimal number (between -32767 and 32767) For fixed length record files, this switch lets one override the result of the recovery and explicitly determine the number of records. The previous limitation involving large files and file header extensions has been removed.
