Re: V5R1 CUME CD Images Problem

Background:



I got the images for the last V5R1 CUME and used Roxio Creator to burn them
to CD's since 5.1 cannot use image catalogues.



But the burn did not create a disk with the same image.  For example, the
image is c4300510_10.bgin but the CD the burn created a file named QDSETMAP
and three folders (QPTFMNT, QTAPHDR, and QTAPTRL) These folders have
sub-folders that look like OS features, such as P5722SS1 and files, such as
PH00022.AS0.



I ran the CPYPTFCVR command against all ten CDs.  Obediently I inserted a
new CD as prompted.  After the 10th (last) CD I got the same message but,
since there were no additional CDs, I simply canceled. , but the error
message CPF35E0 appeared (Error occurred copying PTFs.).  Previous to that
was CPF354C (Cannot process PTF files on optical volume.).  Previous to that
was CPF4110 (Cancel reply received for message OPT1486.).



I tried running the DSPPTFCVR command, anyway, for *SPCINST to *PRINT.  for
both *NOTAPY and *ALL.  Nothing was selected.  Even DSPPTFCVR SELECT(*ALL)
CVRATR(*ALL) OUTPUT(*PRINT) came up empty (No PTFs met selection criteria.).
There are records in the QAPZCOVER file in QGPL (I can see them running
DSPPFM QGPL/QAPZCOVER) and DSPOBJD shows a last used date of 7 March 2011
(today).



Question:



It has been awhile, but I used to burn the download files to CD (using an
older version of Roxio, as I recall) before image catalogues came out in
V5R3.  I have a vague (and I mean very vague) recollection (now) that I
changed the extension from .bin to .iso before doing the burn back then.
Did I just waste ten [10] CDs, or is there something else going on here?



Thanks.
