ZUNLOAD
corresponds to the UNLOAD parameter of the MEDIACOM ADD TAPEFILE
command. ZUNLOAD (ON or OFF) denotes what happens to the tape after this
command is finished.
ON (default) means the tape is unloaded.
OFF means the tape stays loaded and online.
ZPROMPT
corresponds to the PROMPT parameter of the MEDIACOM ADD TAPEFILE
command. ZPROMPT denotes when the tape drive begins checking (polling) that a
tape is mounted.
ON (default) means that polling does not begin until you manually start it. This
message is sent to the current default output file:
\node.$tape: not ready:
When the tape is mounted, processing continues.
OFF means that polling is done immediately by the tape drive. This message is
sent to the current default output file:
\node.$tape: not ready -- beginning to poll
When the tape is mounted, processing continues.
