Table 6-49: Error Code and Status Bytes
Runtime Error Code:
This field is part of the internal protocol and contains the Runtime (error set 0) Error code. These internal error
codes are also listed below, showing to which Sense, ASC and ASCQ fields they are mapped.
Status Byte: This field is not supported. The drive will always return 00h in this byte.
Read/Write Data Error Counter: After a read operation, this field returns “Number of read soft errors” fields of Log data.
After a write operation, this field returns “Number of write soft errors” fields of Log data.
Note: This field is valid only after a READ or a WRITE command.
Note: It is direct mapping of the relevant Log data and is cleared/reset in the same way as the Log data.
Remaining Tape:
The capacity remaining of the tape in 1024 byte blocks is returned. This means the area from the current logical position
to EOP.
A description of the different Sense Keys (Byte 2), Additional Sense Codes (Byte 12), and the Additional Sense Code
Qualifiers (Byte 13) supported by the SDT-10000/SDT-11000 are listed in a table beginning on the following page.
