Use the FIX command to repair damaged dictionary files. FIX
describes any errors it finds and places this output in a listing
file. FIX also modifies the dictionary to repair the damage in the
following ways:
o By reconstructing corrupt dictionary directories and restoring
their children to them
o By preserving internally consistent dictionary directories and
objects whose parents are irreparably damaged
o By pruning off inconsistent dictionary objects, history lists,
and directories that cannot be repaired
o By rebuilding the free page list
To fix the main dictionary file, you need VMS SYSPRV or BYPASS
privilege. To fix a subdictionary file, you need only be the owner
of the subdictionary file.
The default dictionary file is SYS$DISK:CDD.DIC.
