(9859) Multisession CD and DVD media?

How do you do.
I've problems with reading multisession CDs - OpenVMS sees only first session. This is *not* problem with CDROM device - Tru64 on the same hardware does read multisession disks. How can I read multisession CDs under OpenVMS?

OpenVMS does not provide integrated support for multisession media.

If you wish to read such volumes, you would have to use the IO$_DIAGNOSE interface to transfer the data from the session into (for instance) an LD disk partition, or you would have to write a multisession-capable device driver.

If you wish to formally request this support be added into OpenVMS, please contact VSI support.
