set-sct Command

The set-sct command attaches the SCT drive to the current process. This must be executed before any other tape handling commands. This command is provided for compatibility.

The set-sct command specifies a 1/4-inch streaming tape unit as the peripheral storage device. The set-sct command automatically specifies a t-att (tape-attach) command and a t-rew (rewind) command.

Make sure the hardware is present for a 1/4-inch drive. Otherwise, the port may wait forever. If only one density is available, then it is used. The default is high density.

Syntax

Parameter(s)

NOTE

If there are more than one SCT devices, or one SCT device with multiple densities, the set-sct command selects the first device shown in the list produced by the list-device command. To select another SCT or another density, the set-device command must be used.
