Controls whether the VERIFY command cancels an incomplete transaction. You use the /RECOVER qualifier when a transaction with the library is incomplete and the rollback mechanism does not automatically cancel the command. For example, you must use the /RECOVER qualifier if the OpenVMS system fails while a CMS command is updating the library. If a CMS command is terminated and the library is left in an inconsistent state, CMS recognizes that the last transaction was incomplete and automatically initiates command rollback to return the library to a valid format. If you have set up a restrictive protection scheme and a system failure occurs during a CMS transaction and leaves your library in an inconsistent state, the VERIFY/RECOVER command should be executed by the same person who was using CMS at the time of the system failure or by a person with sufficient privileges.
