RDR

Retrieve Deleted Records

Have you ever had that sinking feeling that occurs when the wrong records are deleted? If so, you realize how important RDR is for you. It is the cheapest insurance you can buy. Just don’t wait until you have an emergency to get it! RDR retrieves those records you deleted in error.

• Retrieve all deleted records from any member of a physical file
• Retrieve deleted records from RRN to RRN
• Include RRN in the output file for the deleted records

The input file is not changed in any way. The deleted records are put in a file of your choice, and then may be copied back into the original file. If all deleted records are not wanted, use the From and To Record to select the particular record(s).

The RDR command is easy to use. Just key in RDR and prompt. Fill in the parameters needed and <enter>. RDR will then create a file of the deleted records.

Note: Due to OS restrictions at V5R4 and above the RDR product is susceptible to unpredictable results.  The data in the deleted record is not always able to be retrieved using RDR and therefore maintenance for this software product has been suspended.
