Xerox 701P21091 Options 42. Record Lmult parameter options and definitions, Record Lthfld

Specifying input parameters

•The tape label contents can override a record length value. If a defined record length is larger than the default block length (1330), you must specify a block length that is large enough to hold the record. If a large enough record length is not specified, data may be lost.

•The RECORD LENGTH parameter may be overridden by ANSI or IBM OS/Standard labels that specify record length.

•The length on a 4-by-3 packed format tape is the number of 6-bit characters in the record.

RECORD LMULT

Specifies a multiplication factor that is applied to the contents of the record length field to determine the true record length.

Syntax RECORD LMULT = value

Options

Table 2-42. RECORD LMULT parameter options and definitions

Option	Definition
value	An integer in the range of 1 to 15 that is multiplied by the value in the length
	field (refer to the RECORD LENGTH parameter description) to compute the
	number of bytes in the record.

Default 1

RECORD LTHFLD

Specifies the length of the field that contains the record length.

Syntax RECORD LTHFLD = size

Options

Table 2-43. RECORD LTHFLD parameter options and definitions
