SDX-450V rewind the tape to Bottom of Active Partition, after Delete Partition.
Note 1:
The Delete Partition Command is available in the AIT mode and only for an AIT mode cassette.
Note 2:
The Indicated Partition Number value specifies the partition number ABOVE which partitions are to be
deleted. Consequently, the value cannot represent the last, open-ended partition on tape. The specified
partition itself is converted into an open-ended partition with its data contents preserved.
Note 3:
Delete Partition is System area in the Active partition.
Examples
:
Case 1 (with PRTH=0)
;
With the tape already loaded, and with partition 5 active, the Delete Partition command issued with the Indicated
partition Number set to 5 (the last partition) will be rejected with CHECK CONDITION (Illegal parameter). See Notes
2 and 3.
