   1.$ SET FILE/RU_FACILITY=1/NORU_JOURNAL/NOAI_JOURNAL/LOG SAVINGS.DAT
     %SET-I-FILUNMARKAI, $DISK1:[PERSONAL]SAVINGS.DAT;1 unmarked for RMS
     after-image journaling
     %SET-I-FILUNMARKRU, $DISK1:[PERSONAL]SAVINGS.DAT;1 unmarked for RMS
     recovery-unit journaling
     %SET-I-MODIFIED, $DISK1:[PERSONAL]SAVINGS.DAT;1 modified
     $ DELETE SAVINGS.DAT;*

     This example shows the use of the /RU_FACILITY qualifier to
     allow SET FILE access to a data file. The SET FILE command
     identifies the recoverable facility holding the file and
     it also unmarks the file for recovery unit and after-image
     journaling. After these steps, it is then possible to delete
     the data file.

                                CAUTION

      If it becomes necessary to use the /RU_FACILITY qualifier
      because of active recovery units, the data in the file may
      be inconsistent. VSI recommends that you not use the data
      file unless you can verify that the data is consistent.

      VSI also recommends that you make a new copy of the file
      using the Convert Utility and that you use the converted
      copy in place of the original.

   2.$ SET FILE/RU_FACILITY=RMS/RU_ACTIVE=0  SALES.DAT

     In this example, the recoverable facility for the file
     SALES.DAT is identified as RMS by the /RU_FACILITY=RMS
     qualifier, and the RU active file attribute (which indicates
     active RMS recovery units) is cleared by the /RU_ACTIVE=0
     qualifier. If the file SALES.DAT is unavailable due to active
     recovery units and an unavailable recovery unit journal, you
     can use this command to gain access to the file.

     As in the previous example, this operation leaves the data
     file in an inconsistent state. In general, use this command to
     delete the data file, then restore the file from a backup copy.
