RDB/VMS RMU/ALTER UNCORRUPT — VMS RDB_4.0

 Resets   the   area's   corruption   indication   flag    (FILID
 CORRUPT_FLG),  thus allowing you to use the uncorrupted sections
 of a corrupted storage  area.   Storage  areas  are  most  often
 corrupted  by  attempting  a VAX Rdb/VMS (not RdbALTER) rollback
 with one or more storage areas opened in BATCH UPDATE.

 The UNCORRUPT command allows you to access a database that is in
 an  uncertain  condition.  Accordingly, the following message is
 displayed when you issue it:

 BEWARE ATTEMPTING TO UNCORRUPT A STORAGE AREA
 WITHOUT FIRST VERIFYING IT.

Examples

 The following example resets the  EMPIDS_LOW  area's  corruption
 indication flag.

 RdbALTER> UNCORRUPT EMPIDS_LOW

                ***** WARNING! *****

    BEWARE ATTEMPTING TO UNCORRUPT A STORAGE AREA
    WITHOUT FIRST VERIFYING IT.

    A RdbALTER ROLLBACK COMMAND WILL LEAVE THIS AREA
    MARKED CORRUPT SO THAT YOU CAN PERFORM A VERIFY
    TO INSURE THAT IT IS ACTUALLY NOT CORRUPT.

  Area EMPIDS_LOW now marked uncorrupt.
