EDIT/3000:Reference Manual

Appendix C  WORK FILE RECOVERY 

EDIT/3000 creates a WORK file whenever an ADD, TEXT, or JOIN command is
entered.  This WORK file is a permanent file and is named by EDIT/3000 as
follows:

     Kdddhhmm 
       ^ ^ ^
       | | |
       | | minute
       | hour of the day
       Julian day within year


NOTE  EDIT/3000 logic prevents duplicate names within a group.


To recover a WORK file (for example, after a system crash), proceed as
follows:

   1.  Enter an MPE/3000:LISTF command to determine the K number under
       which the WORK file was saved by EDIT/3000.

   2.  Access EDIT/3000 and enter these commands:

            /TEXT Kdddhhmm 
            /KEEP filename (any new file name)
            /TEXT filename
