Subject: [HP3000-L] KSAM Problem/Question

Can anyone tell me how I can read the records in a KSAM file that have
been logically deleted?

I have tried the FPOINT/FREADC combo intrinsics. When I do an FPOINT
on a record marked for deletion it returns a 170 error code. This is close to
what I need. If I hit a 170 then I want to be able to FREAD/FREADC/FREADDIR
the deleted record.


Unfortunately, after reviewing what is documented in the "Using KSAMXL" 
manual page 6-3 ("Deleting A Record") it states "Although the data still
occupies record space in the file, it is no longer possible to access the
record through standard read operations."

Ok, so what "non-standard" read operations can I use to get the data from
these logically deleted records?

TIA,

Brian Donaldson.
