8.110.3 Parameter

device

This specifies the device address of the tape to which the operation will be
performed.

REW

Rewind the tape.

ASF

Position the tape at file nnnn.

FSF

Forward space nnnn files.

BSF

Backward space nnnn files.

FSR

Forward space nnnn records.

BSR

Backward space nnnn records.

WTM

Write nnnn tapemarks.

DSE

Data secure erase.

DVOL1

This must be a number in the range of 1-9999. The default is one if nnnn is not
specified.

nnnn

This must be a number in the range of 1-9999. The default is one if nnnn is not
