WHAT THE LIBRARY RETURNS
Element Type Code – Byte 00
This field indicates the specific element type (see page 15-2) being reported by
the element descriptor.
PVolTag – Byte 01, Bit 7
This field indicates if primary volume tag (bar code label) information is
present, as follows:
AVolTag – Byte 01, Bit 6
The library does not support alternate volume tags. The value reported for this
field is 0.
Element Descriptor Length – Bytes 02 and 03
This field indicates the total number of bytes contained in a single element
descriptor, as follows:
If the descriptor being returned is for either the medium transport element
(the cartridge loader) or a storage element (cartridge cell), the length is either
52 bytes (if the VolTag bit is 1) or 16 bytes (if the VolTag bit is 0).
If the descriptor being returned is for a data transfer element (a tape drive),
the element descriptor length changes depending on the setting of the
DVCID, VolTag, and S/N Req bits, as shown in Table 15-1.
