17.3.4. Illegal Length
When the requested transfer length does not match the
actual block length, the Drive response depends on the
state of the FIX bit, SILI bit and on the value of the
Block Size field in the MODE SELECT Block Descriptor
List.
17.3.4.1. FIX Bit Set to ZERO
If the actual block length (length of block found on the
tape) is smaller than the requested Transfer Length,
only the actual block length is transferred. If the
actual block length is larger than the requested
Transfer Length, only the requested length is
transferred.
SILI Bit Is Set To Zero:
If the SILI bit is zero, the READ command will be
terminated with CHECK CONDITION status if the requested
transfer length does not match the actual block length.
The Error Code will be set to N
O ADDITIONAL SENSE INFORMATION
,
ILLEGAL LENGTH BLOCK READ
. The illegal length indicator (ILI)
and Valid (VADD) bits in the sense data list will be set
to one. The Information Bytes will be set to the
requested Transfer Length minus the actual block length.
This means that the Information Bytes indicate the
residual length. If the actual block length was smaller
than the specified length, the residual will be a
positive number. If the actual block length was larger
than the specified length, the residual will be a
negative number. Negative residues will be presented on
2's complement form. When the command has terminated,
the logical tape position will be located after the
incorrect length block (end of partition side).
SILI Bit Is Set To One:
When the SILI bit is one, the Drive will not return
CHECK CONDITION status if the only error is that the
Transfer Length exceeds the actual block length recorded
on the tape. When the command has terminated, the
logical tape position will be located after the
incorrect length block (end of partition side).
When the SILI bit is one and the only error is that the
Transfer Length is less then the actual block length
recorded on the tape, the behavior depends on the
current Fixed or Variable Block mode:
