Displaying optical volumes

When the Work with Optical Volumes display first appears, it includes a list of all volumes in all CD-ROM devices, DVD devices, optical media libraries, and LAN-attached devices.

The volume names that are displayed are determined by what you type in the device (DEV) and CSI parameters. The following options are valid for the DEV parameter:

Name: The name of a specific device. This lists all volumes in the specified device.

*ALL: The list of all volumes in all devices. The volumes are displayed in alphabetical order regardless of the device they are in. You can press F11 (View 2) on the Work with Optical Volumes display to view the text variation of the display.

Press F11 (View 1) to return to the status variation.

A third variation of the Work with Optical Volumes display is the extended information display. To view this display, press F14 (Show extended information) on the Work with Optical Volumes display, or use the Work with Optical Volumes (WRKOPTVOL) command and set the extended information parameter to *YES.

Unlike the status and text variations, this display requires that the optical device be varied on. If an optical device is not varied on, the following message is returned.
