    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.
