Restore File

[loonybin]

I accidentally cleared a file. Could someone please tell me the complete command to restore the file back from the backup. It's really urgent. Thanks in advance.

RSTOBJ then use F4 to prompt.

I was able to restore the file. Since I'm on this topic, I also want to know how to restore source files. Please let me know the command and the parameters that needs to be filled out. Thanks again.

You can use the same command. Or at a menu type GO RESTORE and pick from the menu.

When you restore a source file, you need to do the following:

RstObj Obj(QRpgLeSrc) +
       SavLib(MySrcLib) +
       Dev(Tap01) +
       ObjType(*File) +
       SeqNbr(21) +
       EndOpt(*Unload) +
       FileMbr(QRpgLeSrc (MySrcMbr)) +
       MbrOpt(*All)

Just a couple of notes. You need to use the file sequnece number (get that off of the DSPTAP of the backup tape.)
Also, you can restore mutliple members (add them to the FileMbr option.) You MUST specify MbrOpt(*ALL) or the command will get an error message.
