2-125
INFO TAPELABEL Command (Super Group Only)
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 INFO TAPELABEL is finished:
ON
unloads the tape from the tape drive. The default is ON.
OFF
leaves the tape mounted and online.
REPOSITION { ON | OFF }
directs DSM/TC to note the current tape position before rewinding the tape to
dump its labels, then to reposition the tape back to the noted position after the
rewind and label dump finish.
ON
DSM/TC puts the tape back to its original position from before the rewind. You
cannot use REPOSITION ON if UNLOAD is ON.
OFF
DSM/TC does not put the tape back to its original position from before the
rewind. The default is OFF.
Considerations

Format of brief report
The brief format for all label types is a vertical list of items, as Figure 2-5
shows. All
report information is taken from the tape’s label.
If a user label is present, INFO TAPELABEL retrieves the information from that
label as well and presents it after the listed label items. The user information is not
formatted into separate items.
