    Along similar lines...
    
    Customer has RW530 Jukebox with 60 mounted JBA WORM platters RWX5K-02
    (1.2Gbyte-512 bytes/sector).
    
    	He has run this config for over a year, using the command:-
    
    	INIT/MAX=3500 JBA%: MANddmmmyy to initialise his volumes.
    
    	He has found recently that when approximately 1900 files have been
    written to a JBA volume, he gets error messages:-
    
    ACP FILE CREATE FAILED
    
    %RMS "INDEX FILE FULL"
    
    	I haven't found the "INDEX FILE FULL" message in any of JKCONFIG,
    JBUTIL or ODUTIL message tables.
    
    	The nearest I found was NOROOMFORHDR "no room in index area for new
    headers" which has a similar meaning.
    
    	I am concerned that it was RMS which reported the condition. Can
    anybody shed some more light on this particular issue please? Is it an
    RMS condition or threshold which is causing this problem or is RMS
    reporting a problem caused by the WORM limitations?
    
    	The customer has not identified the cluster size in use for this
    media. Could it be that indexf.sys is unable to deal with the number of
    file headers?

    Dave,
    
    The WORMS-11 ACP (W11AACP.EXE) returns this status when the index
    file is full.
    
    A possible reason for this happening at 1900 files is that the
    directory file headers are being modified multiple times as the
    1900 files are created.  Please note, on a WORMS-11 disk each time
    a file is modified and written back to the disk a new file header
    is created in the index file.  You can use ODUTIL to verify the
    state of the index file.
    
    A message help file should exist in SYS$HELP:PERCEPTICS.MSGHLP$DATA
    that contains the OSMS meaning of various error messages.  Of the
    top of my head I don't remember how to get it to be included in the
    list that the DCL command HELP/MESSAGE searches through.  You should
    be able to do a $ HELP/MESSAGE IDXFILEFULL and it would tell you
    how/why that message is generated.
    
    The cluster size is fixed for WORMS-11 media and is not an issue.
