RDB/VMS RMU/ALTER UNCORRUPT — VMS RDB_4.2

 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
 transaction mode.

 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 USING THE RMU/VERIFY
    COMMAND.

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 USING THE RMU/VERIFY
    COMMAND.

    AN RdbALTER ROLLBACK COMMAND WILL LEAVE THIS
    AREA MARKED CORRUPT.

  Area EMPIDS_LOW now marked uncorrupt.
