7.3 Exceptions and Error Conditions
The following exceptions and error conditions can occur with the
LOCATE command.
EOD Detected
If the CTS detects the end-of-data (EOD) mark during the locate
operation, it returns Check Condition status. The REQUEST SENSE
data is set as follows:
Valid 1
Sense Key Blank Check (8h)
Information
bytes
Indicate the difference between the requested logical
position and the actual logical position.
ASC 00h
ASCQ 05h
FSC 33h
When the LOCATE command terminates, the logical tape position is
after the last recorded data block, filemark, or setmark (8500c format
only).
Note: If the CTS has the EEPROM image for directory support (and
the tape contains only one partition), you can issue a LOCATE
command with the ADE bit set to 0 to move from the
directory to the data area of the tape. The CTS spaces over the
first EOD mark (as long as it is located before the first
filemark) and does not return Check Condition status.
However, when the CTS detects the second EOD mark at the
end of data, it returns Check Condition status with the sense
key set to Blank Check (8h).
