So I have an up/down staircase that hit a cave. Is there any way for me to plug the hole after channeling out the stairs or to simply remove the stairs without it leaving an opening? It wont let me place a floor or wall.

d-z to remove the stair, then construct a new up stair over it through b-C-u.

Edit: The capital 'C' is needed for the constructions menu.

There actually is no real reason to remove the stairs, simply building an up stair over the top of them should work just fine.

Up stairs can't be constructed over a carved up/down stair unless there's dug space around them or more stairs beneath. But yeah, it could be done further up the line, or if there's some area dug out near it... but I can't imagine why it makes a difference.

In his DF2012TUTVIDs (I think I got that right), Captn Duck (god bless him) places a hatch cover over top of some up/down stairs he had dug that hit a cavern, with the thought that they're impassable by creatures.

I have done the same in my game.
