be transferred from the initiator to the target during the DATA OUT phase. A
parameter list length of 0 indicates that no data is to be transferred. This
condition is not considered an error.
5.7.1 Log Detection Summary in LOG SELECT Command Descriptor Block

INVALID FIELD IN CDB.
The conditions that constitute errors are:
•
PCR bit is set to 1 and parameter list is not set to 0.
•
SP bit is set to 1
•
A parameter list length that would cause a parameter within a valid page to
be truncated or otherwise incompletely initialized.
5.7.2 Operation of LOG SELECT
The LOG SELECT command allows the initiator to modify and initialize
parameters within the logs supported by the tape drive.
There are two ways to initialize the log parameters.
1. Set the PCR bit in the LOG SELECT CDB; this clears all parameters.
2. Specify the log page and parameter values as the log parameters to clear
individual pages. The following pages can be cleared using this method:
