Description

Program

B99130

Function

Check all folders and files in the specified cabinet(s) and, if appropriate, correct the following:

• Invalid date and time fields are corrected (e.g. if the date field contains 0).

• The time when this utility is run is provided as the folder/file name, if the folder/file name is missing.

• A file that is not contained in a folder is linked to its original folder.

• Folders/files which were not deleted when utility B05130 Move Folder Contents was run are deleted. Objects contained in these folders/files are filed in folder Work.

• Folder/file names which were incorrectly converted from lowercase to uppercase are corrected. Any folder/file name that is not unique is renamed with the date and time this utility is run.

• The private flag is recovered for a file which is stored in a private folder.

Additionally, all folders within folder relationships can be canceled, i.e. each folder will then be a separate folder which is not contained in any other folder.

Note:
Once this utility is run, it is recommended that utility B99990 Display Objects Renamed to Folder Name is run to insure that any system folder fixed with utility B99130 Fix Corrupted Folder/File Records is restored to the appropriate name (i.e. Wastebasket, Inbasket).
