Moving over blocks on a tape
You can position a job tape forward or backward to skip one or
more of the blocks within a file on the tape.
You must initiate the Move command before you start the job;
you cannot move over blocks while the job is printing. If a job is
currently printing, stop input by clicking End on the Tape Client
window, and confirm your action on the confirmation window.
1. In the Move field on the Tape Client window, click Block....
The Move Block window opens.

(rewind, or backward) or FWD (forward).
4. Click Move. The Move Block window closes, and the tape
advances or rewinds past the number of blocks that you
indicated.
