Undeleting Records
Deleted records can be recovered as long as the HEC-DSS file has NOT been squeezed (see "Squeezing DSS Files in HEC-DSSVue"). When a file is squeezed, all deleted records are physically removed. You can undelete records in three ways:
Undelete all records in a file
Select the records to undelete from a list
Undelete the records that you just deleted
To Undelete records from a HEC-DSS file:
Select Undelete from the Edit menu. A submenu will appear with the options:
All—To undelete all records, select All.
A confirmation message box will appear asking if you want to undelete nn records (where nn is the number of deleted records in the current file).
Click OK.
A final message box will appear stating that all available records were undeleted.
Select…—To pick which records to undelete, select Select…
A window will appear containing a list of pathnames for all the records that have been deleted in the current file ("Figure: Undelete Records Selection Window") that are eligible to be undeleted. Check the checkboxes of the records that you want to undelete, or press Select All to undelete all records in the list. You can unselect the checked records by pressing Unselect All.
