- Ut-oh. You may need to get your sysadmin to help you with this one.
- Basically, you need to get a valid FDL descriptor from a known-good
- mail file, (obtained with the ANALYZE/RMS/FILE command), and use it
- to change your bad files using the CONVERT utility.
-
- It's not impossible, or even that difficult, but it does take someone
- who knows what they're doing.
