Immed
Immediate. If the Immediate bit = 0, the target does not return status
until the selected operation has completed.
If set to 1, status is returned as soon as the operation has been initiated.
Long
Must be set to 1. The Long bit controls the distance of tape to be
erased.
NOTE
The ERASE command results in no operation for the tape drive
unless the Long bit is set to 1. Issuing the ERASE command away
from Beginning of Tape (BOT) is an ILLEGAL REQUEST.
