RE: File reorgs while file is in use - new in V5R3

Multiple volumes are handeled like this:  If you create on CD (pick the
size) and when you "fill it up" you are presented with a message:

<message>
Message ID . . . . . . :   OPT149F       Severity . . . . . . . :   99
Message type . . . . . :   Inquiry
Date sent  . . . . . . :   07/02/04      Time sent  . . . . . . :
14:29:57
Message . . . . :   Load next volume on optical device OPTVRT01. (C A G)
Cause . . . . . :   A save operation to virtual device OPTVRT01 cannot
  continue because either the volume list is exhausted or there was no
volume
  found to continue the operation.  The last volume in the save was 5722XH2
  with sequence number 1.
Recovery  . . . :   Type C to cancel processing or load the next volume on
  device OPTVRT01 and continue. The volume can be loaded in one of two
ways.
  1) The system can create a new virtual volume and load it into the same
  image catalog as the previous volume. The volume will be initialized with
a
  system generated name and processing will continue on this volume. Type A
to
  select this option. 2) From another session add the desired volume to the
  image catalog using Add Image Catalog Entry (ADDIMGCLGE). Once the volume
is
   mounted, return to this inquiry message and type G to continue
processing.
 Possible choices for replying to message . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . :
   C -- Cancel processing.
   A -- The system will create, load, mount, and initialize a new virtual
     volume and then continue processing.
   G -- Continue processing after manually loading and mounting the virtual
     volume.
</message>

Give it an "A" and it keeps going

I looks like it duplicates the size of the virtual volume you started with.
