During a CA IDMS Extractor session, information is stored in the scratch area. While editing a JCL member, the member you are editing is also stored in the scratch area. In the event of an abend, you can recover the changes you have made since your last save only if the scratch area is left intact. If CA IDMS Extractor abends, the scratch area is unaffected and recovery is possible unless you were in the middle of an online Selection Criteria Specification session. If your system goes down, the scratch area is lost.
When an abend does occur, you are returned to the CA IDMS/DC prompt and a message is displayed. When you invoke CA IDMS Extractor again, you are returned to the point in the session when the abend occurred.
