DELETE TAPELABEL Command
(Super Group Only)
catalog entry and perhaps a tape file entry remain for a tape that essentially
does not exist.
OFF
removes the label only if the file on the tape is expired. The default is OFF.
PROMPT { ON | OFF }
determines when the tape drive begins checking (polling) that a tape is mounted:
ON
Polling does not begin until you manually start it. This message is sent to the
current default output file (usually your home terminal):
\node.$tape: not ready:
Press the RETURN key to start the polling process. When the tape is mounted,
DELETE TAPELABEL continues processing. The default is ON.
To end DELETE TAPELABEL without further processing, you can enter stop
rather than press the RETURN key.
OFF
Polling is done immediately by the tape drive. This message is sent to the
current default output file (usually your home terminal):
\node.$tape: not ready -- beginning to poll ...
When the tape is mounted, DELETE TAPELABEL continues processing.
TAPEDRIVE \node.$tape
is a tape drive name. The default is the name set by the TAPEDRIVE command.
Include \node when the tape drive is not on your current default node.
When this option is not used and a default name is not set, the command does not
execute.
This parameter is required if no value is available from the MEDIADEFS defaults or
previously set as a MEDIACOM session default (see the ENV Command on
page 2-89).
UNLOAD { ON | OFF }
determines what happens to the tape after DELETE TAPELABEL is finished:
ON
unloads the tape from the tape drive. The default is ON.
