DETACH-DEVICE
Detaches a tape device. Access to the CD drive from Linux is forbidden while the device
concerned is attached in BS2000. After it has been detached, any CD still contained in
the drive can be ejected by pressing the button on the drive.
UNLOAD-TAPE
Burns a CD or DVD, which is then ejected.
INIT utility routine
Initialization of a volume by the INIT utility routine; mandatory when a CD/DVD straight
from the factory is inserted. For details, see the “Utility Routines” manual [11]. Specify
“T9G” as the volume type and define the VSN. If the CD/DVD is rewritable, any existing
data is overwritten.
You use the ERASE operand in the INIT statement to initiate complete deletion of a
rewritable CD/DVD.
Procedure for burning a CD/DVD
Proceed as follows to burn a CD or DVD in the drive of the MU or SU x86:
Ê Initialize the CDROM file using the INIT utility routine and specify a VSN in the process.
Ê Make the CD or DVD known to BS2000: ATTACH-DEVICE or (if that has already been
issued) CHECK-TAPE
Ê Write the CDROM file with BS2000 means.
All data on a rewritable medium is deleted here.
Ê Write the CDROM file with BS2000 means.
This file is initially buffered on hard disk. The buffered file must contain more than 5 tape
blocks, and the data must be terminated with a double tape mark (indicating the logical
end of a BS2000 tape).
The buffered data is retained until it is deleted when initialization takes place again
(INIT) or until a data medium is written for this drive again.
Ê Burn another CD/DVD using the UNLOAD-TAPE command.
After the medium has been burned, it is ejected from the DVD burner (i.e. the drive
opens).
Ê Burn another CD/DVD or detach the device (DETACH-DEVICE).
