Read about how to manage virtual files that are held due to an error while writing to optical media.
Held optical files are virtual files that were never successfully written to optical media. A virtual file becomes held if an error occurs during the close operation of a file on a non-UDF formatted volume. You can manage these virtual files by using application interfaces and optical utilities. No creation of held files occurs for files that fail to archive on UDF formatted volumes.
Assume an optical volume is initialized to a 95% threshold and an application writes files until the volume threshold is reached. When the threshold is reached, the application will receive message CPF1F61, No free space available on media. In this example, the absolute volume capacity is reached and the file is too large to fit on the volume. Because increasing the volume threshold will not help, another solution is needed. When the close request fails, the virtual file becomes held. Using the Work With Held Optical Files command, this virtual file can be saved to another volume. If you want, the file can be saved under a different name. The save request can also be performed using a control file system function.
