LABEL TAPEVOLUME Command
(Super Group Only)
Before LABEL TAPEVOLUME begins labeling any of the tapes, it checks that the
tape naming convention works for the number of tapes specified. If the convention
does not work, LABEL TAPEVOLUME does not execute. For example, if tape-
name is PAY01 and number-of-tapes is 100, the command does not execute
because there is no room in a generated tape name for a number larger than 99
(PAY99). In this case, number-of-tapes must be a value of 99 or less.
DENSITY { 1600 | 6250 }
defines the density for the tape. The default is 1600 for open-reel tapes. For a list
of NonStop Kernel tape drives and the density setting for each, see Appendix B,
Labeling and Density Guidelines.
LABELS { ANSI | BACKUP | IBM }
defines what type of tape label to create:
ANSI
ANSI format label. For detailed information on this label format, see Appendix
A, Tape Label Formats. The default is ANSI.
BACKUP
special format label used by BACKUP and BACKCOPY. It is almost identical to
the ANSI format.
IBM
IBM-MVS format label. For detailed information on this label format, see
Appendix A, Tape Label Formats.
