The following densities are supported for 3424/9348 devices:
42 Buffered write mode 1600 bpi
62 Unbuffered write mode 1600 bpi
C2 Buffered write mode 6250 bpi
E2 Unbuffered write mode 6250 bpi
The following densities are supported for 3410/3420/3422/3430 devices:
D0 6250 bpi
C0 1600 bpi
C8 800 bpi
The following densities are supported for 3490E devices:
F0 Buffered write mode (3490E)
F8 Buffered write mode with IDRC (3490E)
Modes F0 and F8 are used internally by BIM-EPIC to distinguish 3490E tape cartridge drives
from 3480/3490. Because VSE/ESA does not support these modes directly, BIM-EPIC sends
mode 00 or 08 to the 3490E hardware whenever modes F0 or F8 are specified.
The following densities are supported for 3590 TPA devices:
00-07 Buffered model dependent formats
08-0F Buffered compressed model dependent formats
20-27 Unbuffered, like densities 00-07
28-2F Unbuffered, like densities 08-0F
Density 08 should be used for performance reasons.
NSU specifies that tape versions of the dataset are part of a multi–dataset group. Specify the
name of first dataset on the tape (the prime dataset).
Enter the prime dataset name when the dataset is first cataloged. BIM-EPIC does not allow
you to add a prime dataset name to an existing BIM-EPIC dataset definition (EDD)..
OWN specifies an Owner ID, if you wish. If you also specify a tape pool, make sure the
Owner ID falls within the tape pool range. If you specify NO, no Owner ID is used.
REV regulates tape selection and can be used for backup tapes. Revolving tapes and datasets
have an exclusive relationship. A revolving tape volume can only be used for its dataset, and
a revolving tape dataset can only be written on tape volumes assigned to it. A revolving tape
dataset cannot be used in an Automated Cartridge Library (ACL).
SIZ specifies a tape size.
TPA can be specified as YES or NO. Specify NO for non-TPA devices, YES
for TPA
devices. IF MOD is set for a TPA device, TPA=YES must be coded before the MOD
parameter.
TPL specifies a tape pool ID.
VLT specifies a vault method number, if you want tape vaulting for this dataset.
