CANDE stores the current accesscode of a CANDE session in the tankfile (a file CANDE maintains for storage) for each user when a work file is created with a MAKE or GET command. To recover a file, the accesscode on the session must be the same as in the tankfile if the accesscode is not null. If an attempt is made to recover a work file with a different accesscode, CANDE sends the following error message:

#INCOMPATIBLE ACCESSCODE

The recovery file is not recovered or purged. If the recovery file has an accesscode, the accesscode is indicated in the list of recovery files by a special character following the recovery number as follows:

#     Accesscode is different from the accesscode of the session

*     Accesscode is the same as the accesscode of the session

Refer to Recovery Files for more information about recovery files.
