OR
Press ESC
Go to the 113 (Document) Menu (CTRL
&
3)
If
you are on Drive A, change to the
B
disk drive (CTRL
&

Display the Directory for Disk
B
(CTRL
& 3
+
G)
Delete any files you can (CTRL &
3 + B)
NOTE:
If
you see a file with
.$$$,
it is a file that cannot
be deleted.
Then Save.
Press ESC.
If
deleting files will not allow you to complete your
edit, and you will not lose much work, cancel or discontinue the
edit (CTRL
&
3
+
ESC), make more disk space available (delete
unwanted files or copy some files to another disk), then repeat
the edit.
OR
Press ESC.
If
you have made several changes or additions, and
you do not wish to cancel the edit, and cannot make enough room
to complete the edit by deleting files, one of the following
severe measures may work.
a.
Delete unchanged portion of the file until saving does not
indica te a DISK FULL error.
b.
Severe consequences involved; use only with extreme
caution and only if you have a lot of work at stake: if the
entire original file has been read, that is, if you can do a
CTRL
&
1
+
C (end of file) command and see the end of the
file on the screen, delete the input file with the CTRL
&
3
+
B (delete a file) command. Then save (CTRL
&
3
+
6).
The system may respond with a fatal error F29, in which
case your file will have type
$$$
(which means a temporary
file only). Use the Rename command to re-establish the
type as soon as possible.
There will not be a BAK file.
Make room on your disks for the file and make a backup
copy after renaming.
Prevention: ALWAYS CHECK DISK SPACE
Reason 3:
If a DISK FULL message occurs after a block write command
(CTRL & 2
+
F), the above recoveries will not work.
Action 1:
Press ESC.
Delete (CTRL
&
3
+
B) the file written, as it is
incomplete and not "closed".
If
you can make additional space
by deleting other files, you may try the block write again. Then
continue with the edit.
Result:
Occasionally, pressing the ESCAPE key will cause another DISK
FULL error to occur. If that happens, your disk is really full and
you will be unable to recover the new or edited material under
any circumstances.
