2  Arguments
 

3  area-id

   Specifies the number of the .rda or .snp file whose file
   specification you are changing in the .rdb file.
 

3  area-name

   Specifies the name of the .rda or .snp file whose file
   specification you are changing in the .rdb file.
 

3  SNAPSHOT

   Specifies that the file whose .rdb file fields you are changing
   is an .snp file.
 

3  SPECIFICATION

   SPECIFICATION = file-spec

   Specifies the file specification that the .rda or .snp file will
   have. Use a full file specification (including version number) if
   the .rda or .snp file is not in your default directory. The file
   must be in the location you specify, otherwise the DEPOSIT FILE
   command fails.
 

2  Examples
   Example 1

   The following example deposits a new file specification for the
   JOBS storage area file. The word (marked) in the DEPOSIT FILE
   display indicates that the JOBS storage area file is marked for
   the specified location.

   RdbALTER> DISPLAY FILE JOBS
   Area JOBS:
            File specification is: "DISK1:[RICK.RDB]JOBS.RDA;1"
            Corrupt flag is: OFF
            Inconsistent flag is: OFF

   RdbALTER> DEPOSIT FILE JOBS SPECIFICATION=DISK1:[RICK]JOBS.RDA;1
   Area JOBS:
   (marked) File specification is: "DISK1:[RICK]JOBS.RDA;1"
