COMM NEWRXX (Request New Recovery File)

The COMM NEWRXX option requests a new Recovery File (RXX) be started. In response, the Multi-User Facility performs an IBM CLOSE/OPEN on the Recovery File, allowing operations to mount a new tape.

The COMM NEWRXX function communicates with one Multi-User Facility. Be aware of the following:

• Ensure that DBUTLTY is communicating with the desired Multi-User Facility by executing DBUTLTY with the same System Identifier module (DBSIDPR) that is being used by the Multi-User Facility, and
• Ensure proper load library concatenation by keeping the System Identifier modules (DBSIDPR) in separate load libraries.

When using a console command, these steps are unnecessary.
