Length has not been established.

 

 

AMASS still operates correctly but: (1)

 

 

Reports false capacity values you see

 

 

with the vollist command. (2)

 

 

Records to the end of the media then

 

 

returns an end-of-media error.

 

 

 

Create a Template File

If you use tape volumes of different lengths, create a template file that imbeds a specified tape length in the barcode in the File System Database.

When AMASS reads the Database, it knows the media length and can accurately display capacity values when the vollist command is used.

If required, you can override the template file with the tapelength command. Instructions for creating a template file follow:
