Field Descriptions
Labels
Use the Labels field to specify the type of tape and, for labeled tapes, the label
processing mode. The field options are:
Fileseq
Use the Fileseq field to specify, for ANSI-standard and IBM-standard labeled tapes
only, the position of the tape file in a multifile volume.
To specify the file position, enter an integer in the range 1 through 9999. In multifile
multivolume organization, this number indicates the order of each file in the set. In
single-file organization, this number is always 1.
Fileid
Use the Fileid field to enter, for ANSI-standard and IBM-standard labeled tapes only,
the name of the tape file. The name can contain from 1 through 17 characters.
Volumeid
Use the Volumeid field to specify, for ANSI-standard and IBM-standard labeled tapes
only, the tape volume ID. You can enter the six-byte identification code assigned to the
volume or SCRATCH for a scratch tape. For a multivolume file, you can enter up to
seven volume IDs.
ANSI Specifies that the tape file is on an ANSI-standard labeled tape and that
standard label processing is required (LP mode).
BACKUP Specifies that the tape file be read only by the BACKUP and RESTORE utilities.
BYPASS Specifies that label processing is not required and the tape is not to be checked
for labeling (BLP mode). If you specify this option, you must also specify the
tape device in the Device field. You must not enter values in these fields when
BYPASS is specified:
Blocklen Filesect Reclen Use
EBCDIC Fileseq Reels Version
Expiration Gen Retentn Volume
Fileid Recform Tape Owner Volumeid
IBM Specifies that the tape file is on an IBM-standard labeled tape and that standard
label processing is required (LP mode). If you specify this option, you must also
specify a record format in the Recform field and the tape file name in the Fileid
field.
OMITTED Specifies that the tape file is not on a standard labeled tape. Label processing is
not performed other than to check the tape is not a standard labeled tape (NL
mode). If you specify this option, you must also specify the tape device in the
Device field. You must not enter values in the fields listed for the BYPASS
option when OMITTED is specified.
TMFTAPE Specifies that the tape file is used only by the TMF process for backups and
online dumps.
