When you save an AMP file, the original file is saved as a backup file, then
overwritten with the edited file. To recover the AMP file that was
overwritten during the most recent save operation, use the Recover Backup
File option:
1. Press
[F1]
to pull down the F1-File menu.
2. Press [B] to select the Recover Backup File option. The workstation
displays a directory of AMP backup files.
3. Select the file you want to recover.
4. The workstation renames the selected backup file to a source file. If
the source file already exists under the selected name, the workstation
asks you if it is OK to overwrite the existing file with the backup file.
5. Select Yes or No.
If you select Yes, the workstation overwrites the existing file with the
backup file. If you select No, the workstation aborts the recover
operation.
The AMP editor menu screen reappears.
You can exit the AMP editor before or after the open AMP file has been
saved. If the open file has not been saved, the workstation displays a
screen that lists the options of saving or discarding the open file.
To exit the AMP editor:
1. Press
[F1]
to pull down the File menu.
2. Select the Quit option.
If the open file has not been edited, the workstation terminates the
edit session and clears the edit window from the screen. You can
select another utility.
