Table 4-111. READ POSITION (Short Form) Data — Field Descriptions
Field Name Description
BOP Beginning of Partition. When set to 1, indicates that the drive is at the
Beginning of Partition (BOT) in the current partition. When set to 0,
indicates that the current logical position is not at BOT. Since SDLT
tape drives do not support more than one partition, the value of this bit
is 1 when at BOT.
EOP End of Partition. When set to 1, indicates that the drive is positioned
between early warning and the End of Partition (EOP) in the current
partition. When set to 0, indicates that the current logical position is
not between early warning and EOP.
