The %%REVMEDIA%% Record

When the REVMEDIA file for a particular location is attached, two critical pieces of information are stored in a special record with the key of REVMEDIA. This record can be edited with the System Editor, as shown below:

The record displays as shown below:

Field 1 is the filename assigned to the next file to be created. In this case REV59011.LK and REV59011.OV will be assigned to the next linear hash file. (If a dictionary is also created, the data will be stored in REV59012.OK and REV59012.OV.)

Field 2 is the volume identifier, set by the NAME_VOLUME subroutine.
