SNAPSHOTSPECIFICATION

area-idarea-name

 Specifies the number of the area or  snapshot  file  whose  file
 specification you are changing in the root file.

 Specifies the area name of the area or snapshot file whose  file
 specification you are changing in the root file.

 Specifies that the file whose root file fields you are  changing
 is a snapshot file.

 Specifies the file specification that the area or snapshot  file
 will  have.   Use  a  full file specification (including version
 number) if the area or snapshot file  is  not  in  your  default
 directory.   The  file  must  be  in  the  location you specify,
 otherwise the DEPOSIT FILE command fails.

 Example 1

 This example deposits a new  file  specification  for  the  JOBS
 storage  area  file.   The  word  "(marked)" in the DEPOSIT FILE
 display indicates that the JOBS storage area file is marked  for
 the specified location.

          File specification is: "DISK1:[RICK.RDB]JOBS.RDA;1"
          Corrupt flag is: OFF

 RdbALTER> DEPOSIT FILE JOBS SPECIFICATION="USER1:[RICK]JOBS.RDA;1"
