Retaining the authorization list when removing optical volumes

The relationship between an optical volume and an authorization list is maintained in the optical index database.

This relationship is lost when a volume is exported with the *REMOVE option because the record is deleted. If the *KEEP option is specified when the volume is removed, the record is kept. By specifying *PREV on the Add Optical Cartridge (ADDOPTCTG) command, the authorization list that secured the optical volume before it was removed with the *KEEP option is used to secure the volume when it is re-added. The relationship between a CD-ROM volume and the authorization list securing it is lost when the CD-ROM is removed from the drive.
