<p>The field definition follows the industry standards as understood and interpreted
by IBM<sup>®</sup>:
(<span class="keyword">i5/OS™</span> supports
for input only):</p>
<ul><li>ANSI X3.27-1978, level 4</li>
<li>ISO 1001-1979, level 4</li>
</ul>
<p>The system records the volume label in ASCII.</p>
<p>The program describes the contents and function of each of the fields below.
This version of the ISO/ANSI standard is Version 3.</p>
<ul><li>Label identifier <p>The characters VOL identify this label as a volume
label. The system reads this field to verify that a standard labeled tape
is mounted, and that this label is a volume label. When you use the initialized
tape (INZTAP) command and specify the new volume (NEWVOL) parameter, the system
writes this field to the tape.</p>
</li>
<li>Label number <p>The relative position of this label within the set of
labels of the same type. The Label number is always 1 for the Version 3 volume
label.</p>
</li>
<li>Volume identifier <p>A unique identification code to identify the logical
tape volume. The system writes the value specified for the new volume (NEWVOL)
parameter on the Initialize Tape (INZTAP) command in this position. For media
library devices, the logical volume identifier should match the external bar
code identifier on the cartridges. The value may be from 1 to 6 alphanumeric
characters (left-aligned and padded with blanks if less than 6). The alphanumeric
character set includes A-Z, 0-9, @, $, and #. If the program specifies a value
for a command in the VOL parameter, the system verifies that this field matches
the specified value.</p>
</li>
<li>Accessibility <p>The system considers the volume secure (from processing)
if the volume security field is a blank. A program with *SECOFR authority
can process secured volumes.</p>
</li>
<li>Owner Identifier <p>The owner identifier of the tape volume. The system
writes a value to this field through the OWNER parameter on the Initialize
Tape (INZTAP) command. You use the field to write the owner identifier of
the volume or to write information about the contents of the volume. If the
identifier is less than 14 bytes, the system justifies the value and pads
it with blanks.</p>
</li>
<li>Label Standard Level <p>Identifies the version of ISO/ANSI standards.
For Version 3, the program places a 3 in this field.</p>
</li>
</ul>
