3162.0. " Corrupt folder removal query " by GIDDAY::BURT (Plot? What plot? Where?) Wed Aug 18 1993 03:32

Hello and greetings,

Customer running WPS-PLUS/VMS V4.0

Customer has folder with name of %#3D0000003700. It cannot be deleted or
renamed - index of folder show no documents.
Unfortunately there IS no document number, so we can't work out what the fixer
is to do a DOCDB and delete the record.

Any ideas on how to get rid of this thing?

Thanks & regards,

Chele

BTW I have cross-posted this in the WPS-PLUS conference.

    Hi Chele,
    
    %# has special significance in ALL-IN-1, and is interpreted as an RFA.
    That means that it's going to be difficult to get rid of using
    ALL-IN-1 data sets. 
    
    There's a good chance that it will be the first in the DOCDB file, so
    if you exit ALL-IN-1 and use VMS - 
    
    $open/read/write fred docdb.dat
    $read fred s
    $close fred
    $sho sym s
    
    This should show whether it is indeed the first record. If so you can
    repeat this, except to use read/delete.
    
    Cheers
