6.Command Specification

LOG SENSE

Kilobytes to/from Data Compression: The total number of kilobytes written to or read from the tape since the last power-on or Clear Log operation. For Kilobytes from Data Compression, this number may be greater than the number of kilobytes transferred to the host due to read ahead.

Logical Entity Size: The logical size of the last entity written to or read from the tape: size = number of record in entity record size in bytes

Physical Entity Size: The physical size of the last entity written to or read from the tape: size = entity header length + uncompressed data length

Uncompressed Entities: The total number of times non-ALDC entities have been encountered on the tape during read operations since the last power-on or Clear Log operation.
