NO SENSE: Indicates that there is no specific sense key information to be reported for

 

 

 

the designated logical unit. This would be the case for a successful command or a

 

 

 

command that received CHECK CONDITION or COMMAND TERMINATED status

 

 

 

because one of the File-mark, EOM, or ILI bits is set to one. For File-mark or Set-mark

 

 

 

detected the drive will be positioned on the EOM side of the mark if the drive direction

 

 

 

was forward and on the BOM side of the mark if the direction was reverse.
