Advancing to End of Data

The T-EOD command moves a tape forward to the end of the recorded data. At the EOD mark, you can append new data to the tape. End-Of-Data is indicated differently on tape and floppy disk drive. For 1/4-inch tape, 8mm tape, and DAT, End-Of-Data is indicated by a blank section of the tape. For 1/2-inch tape and floppy disk drive, a pair of End-Of-File marks is used; the floppy disk drive will be positioned after the first of these EOF marks.

The following example advances the attached tape to the end of recorded data:

>T-EOD

BLOCK SIZE:  16896

[92] END OF RECORDED DATA - 3 FILE(S)
