Verifying a Tape Unit

The T-CHK command checks the file currently located on a tape for parity errors.

Format

T-CHK [(A)]

Parameter(s)

A

Checks the entire tape for parity errors.

 

NOTE

The A option is not supported with 1/4-inch tape drives.

T-CHK without the A option checks only the file at the current position of the tape for parity errors. With the A option, the entire tape is checked until an End-Of-Data mark is encountered.

After the tape is checked, the following message displays:

[91] END TAPE CHECK - n FILE(S)

 

n

Number of files checked.
