| Description |
retrieves data from the currently attached magnetic media, rather than the actual data level of the file.
The tape must have been created in a "t-dump" format and must be positioned to the beginning of the appropriate tape file. The attribute-defining items specified in the Access sentence are retrieved from the dictionary level of the specified filename.
