4.2 CLOSE TRACK/RZONE/SESSION/BORDER Command
The Immed bit is supported.
The READ DISC INFORMATION Command or READ TRACK/RZONE INFORMATION Command is used to detect
completion of the close operation. While close operation is performed by the CLOSE TRACK/RZONE/SESSION BORDER
Command that the Immed bit is set to one, the drive terminates these commands with the Check Condition status, LOGICAL UNIT
NOT READY, OPERATION IN PROGRESS (2/04/07).
Note: The TEST UNIT READY Command can not use to identify the completion of close operation because the this command
returns Good status while close operation is performed.
The Session/Border bit and the Track/RZone bit specified in SFFC INF-8090i are extended to the Close Function field specified in
MMC-4 as follows.

If a background format is in progress and de-icing is not completed, the format de-icing operation will be
stopped at some +RW ECC block boundary. No further writing will occur. If there is no background
format in progress, then no operation shall occur and this will not be considered an error.

The drive closes the track associated with the track number in the CDB.
If the track is an invisible track, no close operation is to be done.
If the track is an incomplete track, the drive will write the PMA for the track. If the incomplete track
has the length of less than 4 seconds, it will pad with all zero main data to the minimum length of 4
seconds prior to write the PMA. No other padding shall be done.
If the track is a partially recorded or empty reserved track, the drive will pad until the end of the track.
In the case of an empty track, the drive will write the track according to the Write Parameters Page. If
the Write Parameters Page is inconsistent with the PMA, CHECK CONDITION status will be
returned and SK/ASC/ASCQ will be set to ILLEGAL REQUEST/ILLEGAL MODE FOR THIS
TRACK. For a partially recorded reserved track, the drive will continue writing in the same mode as the
data already recorded.

If this is a Partially Recorded Reserved RZone or the Empty Reserved RZone, the drive will pad the
RZone with 00h bytes. If the RZone status is Invisible, no close operation is to be done. In the case of
an Incomplete RZone, no padding is to be done and cached RMD will be written into the RMA.

The drive closes the Fragment associated with the track number in the CDB.
If the Fragment being closed is reserved and blank or partially written, the drive will pad the Fragment
to its defined length. User data areas in all pad sectors will be zero filled.
If the Fragment being closed is an incomplete Fragment and the incomplete Fragment is not blank, then
a new DCB will be appended into the Session Identification Zone defining the existence of the
Fragment .
If the Fragment being closed is an incomplete Fragment and the incomplete Fragment is blank, then the
command will be terminated with GOOD status and sense data will be set to NO SENSE/NO
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.
