data blocks on the tape. The number in this field can range from 18 to 2048.
|

This block length should include the buffer offset and padding.</p>
|

<p>Note
|

that the 18-byte to 2048 byte limit on block length is an ISCII/ASCII standard.

You can specify larger blocks (up to 9999 bytes) with the agreement of the
|
||
|
|
interchange parties. However, for tapes with Version 3 labels, exceeding the
|
||
|
|
2048 byte limit might create incompatible tapes.</p>
