### 9.3.3 Record Update Options

The Update service (or equivalent language statement) modifies an existing record in a file. Your program must first locate the appropriate record position and optionally retrieve the record itself by calling the Find or Get service (or equivalent language statement).

The options associated with the Update service are summarized in the following table. These options can be set for each Update service if the program can access the appropriate RAB control block fields. The RAB control block fields are preset by connect-time values or defaults and as a result of previous service calls.

Option | Description
--- | ---
Asynchronous record processing | Specifies that record I/O for this record stream is done asynchronously. FDL: CONNECT ASYNCHRONOUS RMS: RAB$L_ROP RAB$V_ASY
Record header buffer | Contains the symbolic address of the record header buffer that contains the fixed portion of a VFC record. Applies to the Get service only. FDL: None RMS: RAB$L_RHB
Record buffer address | Specifies the address of the record buffer that contains the record to be written. FDL: None RMS: RAB$L_RBF
Record buffer size | Specifies the size of the records contained in the record buffer to be written. FDL: None RMS: RAB$W_RSZ

### 9.3.4 Record Deletion Options

The Delete service (or equivalent language statement) removes a record from the file. You cannot use this service for sequential files; however, a sequential file can be truncated using the Truncate service. Like the Update service, the Delete service must be preceded by a Find or Get service to establish the current record position.

The options associated with the Delete service are summarized in the following table. These options can be set for each Delete service if the program can access the appropriate RAB control block fields. The RAB control block fields are preset by connect-time values or defaults and as a result of previous service calls.

Option | Description
--- | ---
Asynchronous record processing | Specifies that record I/O for this record service will be asynchronous. FDL: CONNECT ASYNCHRONOUS RMS: RAB$L_ROP RAB$V_ASY
Fast delete | Specifies that the record to be deleted is flagged as deleted, but parts of any alternate index key path are not completely erased until a subsequent access using the alternate key occurs. This makes deleting the record occur more quickly, but it requires additional access time for a subsequent Find or Get service. FDL: CONNECT FAST_DELETE RMS: RAB$L_ROP RAB$V_FDL

## 9.4 Run-Time Example

Example 9-2 shows how to invoke the FDL$PARSE and FDL$RELEASE routines to use the predefined control block values set by an Edit/FDL utility editing session.

Example 9-2 Using the FDL$PARSE and FDL$RELEASE Routines

    ;
    ;  This program calls the FDL utility routines FDL$PARSE and
    ;  FDL$RELEASE.  First, FDL$PARSE parses the FDL specification
    ;  PART.FDL.  Then the data file named in PART.FDL is accessed
    ;  using the primary key.  Last, the control blocks allocated
    ;  by FDL$PARSE are released by FDL$RELEASE.

## Chapter 10
Maintaining Files

Designing and creating your files and defining their records are only the first steps in the life cycle of your file. You must also consider maintaining the file.

This chapter describes file maintenance with the emphasis on file tuning.

Section 10.1 describes how you can use the Analyze/RMS_File utility to view the characteristics of a file. Section 10.2 describes how you can create an FDL file from a data file using the Analyze/RMS_File utility. Section 10.3 explains how to use the Edit/FDL utility, particularly with Analyze/RMS_File, to optimize and redesign file characteristics. Section 10.4 describes how to make a file contiguous. Section 10.5 explains how to reorganize a file, and Section 10.6 describes how to make archive copies of a file.

## 10.1 Viewing File Characteristics

The Analyze/RMS_File utility (ANALYZE/RMS_FILE) allows you to inspect and analyze the internal structure of an OpenVMS RMS (hereafter referred to as RMS) file.

ANALYZE/RMS_FILE can check a file's structure for errors and can generate a statistical or summary report. A summary report is identical to a statistical report except that no checking is done. For more information on producing a summary report, see the description of the Analyze/RMS_File utility in the OpenVMS Record Management Utilities Reference Manual.

You can also inspect and analyze your file using the Analyze/RMS_File utility interactively. The analysis can show whether or not the file is properly designed for its application and can point out ways to improve the file design.

In addition, you can use ANALYZE/RMS_FILE to obtain FDL files from data files. You can then use these FDL files with the Create/FDL utility (CREATE/FDL), the Convert utility (CONVERT), and the Edit/FDL utility, (EDIT/FDL). FDL files created with ANALYZE/RMS_FILE contain special analysis sections for each area and key, which are called ANALYSIS_OF_AREA and ANALYSIS_OF_KEY. The Edit/FDL utility uses these sections in the Optimize script to tune the file's structure.

### 10.1.1 Performing an Error Check

To check a file's structure for errors, use the following command syntax:

`ANALYZE/RMS_FILE/CHECK filespec`

By default with a command of this format, the Check report is displayed on the terminal (SYS$OUTPUT).

If you receive any error messages, the file has been corrupted by a serious error. If you have had a hardware problem such as a power failure or a disk head failure, then the hardware probably caused the corruption. If you have not had any hardware problems, then a software error may have caused the corruption. Note that the /CHECK qualifier does not find all types of file corruption, however.

In either case, you can try using the Convert utility to fix the problem by using the file specification as both the input-filespec and the output-filespec. Note that if you are processing a relative file containing deleted or unused records, the conversion process changes relative record numbers (RRN) in the output file. If the conversion does not correct the problem, use the Backup utility (BACKUP) to bring in the backup copy of the file.

For more information about CONVERT and BACKUP, see Section 10.4.2, Section 10.5, and Section 10.6.

Note If you believe that the software caused the error, contact a Compaq support representative. Supply the ANALYZE/RMS_FILE check report, a copy of the data file, and a description of what was done with the data file. If possible, also supply a version of the file prior to the corruption and the program or procedure which led to the corruption; being able to reproduce the problem is of tremendous value.

Example 10-1 is a sample Check report of a file with the file specification DISK$:[HERBER]CUSTDATA.DAT;2.

    ANALYZE/RMS_FILE/OUTPUT=CUSTDATA.ANL CUSTDATA.DAT

To place the Check report in a file, use a command of the form:

`ANALYZE/RMS_FILE/CHECK/OUTPUT=output-filespec input-filespec`

The Check report will be placed in the file you named with the output-filespec parameter. This file will receive the file type .ANL by default. For example, the following command will perform an error check on PRLG2.IDX and place the Check report in the file ERROR.ANL:

    $ ANALYZE/RMS_FILE/CHECK/OUTPUT=ERROR PRLG2.IDX

### 10.1.2 Generating a Statistics Report

For indexed files, the Statistics report consists of the Check report plus additional information about the areas and keys in the file. (A Statistics report on a sequential or relative file is thus the same as a Check report.)

To generate a Statistics report with ANALYZE/RMS_FILE, enter a DCL command of the form:

`ANALYZE/RMS_FILE/STATISTICS filespec`

Example 10-2 is an example of a Statistics report.
