Specifying input parameters
Using LCDS Print Description Language 2-39
• The tape label contents can override a record length value. If
a defined record length is larger than the default block length
(1330), you must specify a block length that is large enough
to hold the record. If a large enough record length is not
specified, data may be lost.
• The RECORD LENGTH parameter may be overridden by
ANSI or IBM OS/Standard labels that specify record length.
• The length on a 4-by-3 packed format tape is the number of
6-bit characters in the record.
