Starting Element Address
The Starting Element Address field specifies the starting point of
the Volume Tag evaluation. Beginning with the first defined
element with an address greater than or equal to the Starting
Element Address, all defined, type matching elements will be
tagged until the last element of the specified type.
Send Action Code
The Send Action Code field specifies the test to be evaluated. The
library only implements the “Translate - search primary tags -
ignore sequence numbers” (05h) action.
Parameter List Length
This field specifies the number of bytes in the Send Volume Tag
Parameters. This value should always be 28h.
The format of the Send Volume Tag Parameters is shown in Table 52.
