?BADFILE

Syntax

── ? ──<mix number>── BADFILE ─────────────────────────────────────────┤

Explanation

The ?BADFILE command can be used in response to certain "MT <unit number> RECOPY REQUIRED <file name>" RSVP system messages.

When an error occurs while library maintenance is copying a file from tape, this command can be used to direct library maintenance to continue copying the file to disk even though the resulting file will contain some corrupted data. Library maintenance changes the name of the output disk file so that the node BADFILE is attached to the beginning of the file name. Library maintenance does not copy the corrupted file to tape.

Example

?MSG

* 4431 15:44 MT160 RECOPY REQUIRED *SYMBOL/CANDE
* 4431 15:44 MT160 IO ERROR DURING COPY *SYMBOL/CANDE

#4431 *SYMBOL/CANDE COPIED AS (SITE)BADFILE/SYMBOL/CANDE FROM
