Mastering AS/400 CDs

["McCallion, Martin" <MccalliM@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

A colleague is in the process of trying to create AS/400-readable CDs.
I see from the list archive that there was some discussion of this a
month or two back, with a general consensus of roughly "there are some
OK third-party products, but it should be possible to roll your own".

However, we are having trouble determining how exactly to do it.  The
difficulty seems to be in the step of reading from tape to write to the
IFS.  I'm sure this should be possible with a judicious use of OVRTAPF
and/or OVRDBF; but my colleague hasn't been able to work it out yet.

So I was hoping that someone here would have a code sample, or at least
some advice.  RPG/CL preferred, but anything understood.

Regards,

Martin.
