Common Command Options › Specifying Tape Label Processing › LABEL SL Option

LABEL SL Option

Use the LABEL SL option to have CA VM:Tape use standard label processing. Standard label tapes have IBM standard labels written in EBCDIC.

Standard label processing is the same as ASCII label processing except that CA VM:Tape checks for a VOL1 label where VOL1 is in EBCDIC characters.

CA VM:Tape does not position beyond the internal label for standard label tapes. To avoid overwriting the label, you must move the tape forward past the tape mark. If the system administrator has set up CA VM:Tape USEREXIT7, you can use that user exit to position the tape.
