EOD (Blank Tape) Detected
If the Code field has a value of 000b (space over n logical blocks), 001b
(space over n filemarks), or 100b (space over n setmarks in 8500c
format), and the EOD mark (or blank tape in 8200 format) is detected,
the CTS 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 number of
blocks, filemarks, or setmarks and the actual number of
blocks, filemarks, or setmarks spaced over.
ASC 00h
ASCQ 05h
FSC 33h
The tape is positioned so that a subsequent WRITE command can
append data after the last information written before EOD (blank
tape).
Note: If the CTS’s directory support feature is enabled, you can issue
a SPACE command with the ADE bit set to 0 to move from the
directory to the data area of the tape. In this case, 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).
