BRMS does support Write Once Read Many (WORM) media. This is set up in the media class, WRKCLSBRM
.
The Write Once media prompt identifies whether the media in this class should be treated as if the volumes can be written only once. You would set this value to *YES if the type of media being used with this class is Write Once Read Many (WORM).
...
If a WORM cartridge is expired and attempted to be overwritten, message CPF41B1 - Data overwrite not allowed would be posted.
NoteNOTE: Any media class can be set as WORM . This includes virtual media. Virtual media enrolled in a media class that has WORM set to *YES will have the same rules applied to it as physical worm media.
