/RECOVER /NORECOVER (default) Determines whether EDT reads a journal at the start of the editing session. When you use the /RECOVER qualifier, EDT reads the appropriate journal and processes whatever commands it contains. The appropriate syntax is as follows: $ EDIT/RECOVER MEMO.DAT If the journal file type is not JOU or the file name is not the same as the input file name, you must include both the /JOURNAL qualifier and the /RECOVER qualifier as follows: $ EDIT/RECOVER/JOURNAL=SAVE.XXX MEMO.DAT Because the /NORECOVER qualifier is the default for EDT, you do not need to specify it in a command line.
