WRITE
Delay Time
Indicates the maximum time (in 100 ms increments)
the drive waits with a partially fully buffer before
forcing the data to tape. Note that the buffer full/
empty ratio, which is dynamic, can cause data to be
written sooner than the WRITE delay time value
indicates. The WRITE delay time defaults to 200 ms
(C8h). This causes the buffer to be flushed in 20
seconds. Minimum value is 15 (Fh); maximum
value is 6500 (1964h). This represents a range in
delay from 1.5 seconds to 11 minutes.
Tech Tip: Accepted, but not acted on.
DBR Data Buffer Recovery. Not supported, must be 0.
BIS Block Identifiers Supported. Set to 1.
RSmk Report Setmarks. Not supported, must be 0.
AVC Automatic Velocity Control. Not supported; must
be 0.
SOCF Stop on Consecutive Filemarks. Set to 0.
RBO Recover Buffer Order. Set to 0.
REW Report Early Warning. Set to 0 (do not report early
warning EOM on reads).
Gap Size Not supported. Set to 0.
EOD
Defined
End of Data. Set to 00h.
EEG Enable EOD Generation Bit. Set to 1 to indicate that
the drive generates an EOD. The drive generates an
EOD mark before any change of direction following
a WRITE-type operation.
SEW Synchronize at Early Warning. Set to 1.
