Shortcuts are provided to create common types of CD. A shortcut is specified by using a shortcut name as the value for the SCRATCHPOOL attribute of the destination volume. The shortcut name must match the name of an Intrinsic Transform Function.

The destination volume must not be label equated, and shortcuts cannot be used with Keyed Library/Maintenance CDs, or with COPY&BACKUP.

For example, COPY = TO REPORT(CD,HOSTNAME=LOCAL,SCRATCHPOOL=WINDOWSNT), invokes the WINDOWSNT shortcut, described below.

Shortcut	Description
ASERIES	This shortcut uses the ASERIES intrinsic transform and creates an ISO9660 Data Format CD. Any fixed length data files have an Extended Attribute Record associated with the file. See Example 9.
ASERIESJOLIET	This shortcut invokes the ASERIESJOLIET intrinsic transform which creates a hybrid CD, with an A-Series Data CD partition and a JOLIET partition. The A-Series partition has native A-Series files, while the JOLIET partition has the same files converted to an ASCII byte stream, of variable length records separated by a CR and LF. See Example 10.
HEXMT	This shortcut invokes the HEXMT intrinsic transform, a diagnostic tool. It generates an ISO9660 CD image, and a report, which describes the physical records that LIBRARY/MAINTENANCE delivered to COPYWRITE.
LIBMAINTJOLIET	This shortcut uses the LIBMAINTJOLIET intrinsic transform and creates a hybrid CD format which is recognized by the MCP as a LIBRARY/MAINTENANCE format CD and by Windows 95/98 as a JOLIET Data Format CD. See Example 11.
SEARCH	The SEARCH shortcut invokes the SEARCH intrinsic transform function. The syntax is a subset of the CANDE FIND command, and is specified in the TASKSTRING attribute. See Example 80.
WINDOWSNT	This shortcut uses the WINDOWSNT intrinsic transform and creates an ISO9660 Data Format CD. The files are ASCII byte streams, with trailing blanks removed and a CRLF at the end of each line.
WINDOWS95	This shortcut uses the WINDOWS95 intrinsic transform and creates an ISO9660 Data Format CD. The files are ASCII byte streams, with trailing blanks removed and CRLF appended to each line. A '.txt' suffix is added to the file name. See Example 5.
