Import Media Message

The Import Media message notifies the requester that the Import Media command

successfully completed or that an error caused the command to fail. With an Import

Command, it returns the CAP position the tape label was moved from (0-13 top to

bottom) and the slot position (address) the tape label was moved to. A -1 (a 255 will be

in both bytes) means that no change occurred. The first byte of the label field will have

a W, which stands for import update. For details, see Table D-11.
