CMS, these disks are accessed as the S-,
A-, and Y -disks respectively. Following an
IPL
of CMS,
you must issue explicit ACCESS commands to access
other disks. Ordinarily, you have access only to files
with a filemode number of 2
on
the system disk.
2. Associated with each CMS disk
is
a file directory, which
contains an entry for every CMS file
on
the disk. The
user file directory created in storage by the ACCESS
command contains entries for only those files
that
you
can reference.
If
you use the
CP
LINK command
to
link to a new
minidisk, issue
an
ACCESS command each time.
Do
this so
that
you obtain the appropriate file directory.
3. The filename, filetype, and filemode fields can only be
specified for disks
that
are accessed as read-only
extensions.
