Archiving is a migration with origin CONTROL and destination ARCHIVE. It consists of copying objects from a CONTROL status to a work file and subsequently deleting the objects from the ACF system file. The running of an archiving event covers only the copying; immediately after the copying, the objects are still in their compartment and are reported as "unloaded". The deleting is performed by the PAC administrator when he finalizes the completed archiving event, using the facility described in this section.
To access the archiving event maintenance functions, enter Code E (Migration Events) on the PAC Main Menu. Then enter Code W to access the Archive Event Maintenance Menu.

If there is no completed archive event whose name is in the specified range, a message appears on the original screen.
The "State" fields can have the values "Unloaded", "Locking", "Finalizing" and "Finalized".
"Unloaded" marks the archiving events which have been completed but whose finalization has not been started. The objects on the migration list of an unloaded archiving event have been written to a work file; their condition has not changed otherwise.
"Locking" and "Finalizing" mark the archiving events which have been completed and whose finalization has been started but not yet completed.
None of the objects on the migration list of a locking archiving event has been archived - i.e., deleted - from the ACF system file. Some objects on the migration list of a finalizing archiving event may have been archived while others remain only unloaded.
"Finalized" marks the archiving events which have been completed and whose finalization has also been completed. In some cases even an object on the migration list of a finalized archiving event may be unloaded but not archived.
The C fields of an Archive Event Selection List screen can take as values - in addition to "?" and "." - S(elect), D(isplay), M(odify), F(inalize), and P(urge). Only an archiving event in the state "Unloaded", "Locking" or "Finalizing" can be finalized.
The command S(elect) returns the Archive Event Maintenance Menu with its "Event" field filled with the name of the selected event.
Choose D from the Archive Event Maintenence Menu. D(isplay) produces a Display Archive Event screen:
