Transfer Length Incorrect
If the actual transfer length does not match the requested transfer
length, the information reported depends on the setting of the Fixed
bit.
Variable Length Mode (Fixed = 0)
If the Fixed bit is 0 and the actual length of the block on the tape does
not match the transfer length requested, the CTS transfers the number
of bytes available up to the transfer length requested. Then, it
terminates the READ command and returns Check Condition status
(if the SILI bit is set to 0). The REQUEST SENSE data is set as follows:
Valid 1
ILI 1
Sense Key No Sense (0h)
Information
bytes
Indicate the difference between the actual length and the
requested length:
■ If the requested length is greater than the actual length,
the Information bytes are positive.
■ If the requested length is less than the actual length,
the Information bytes are negative (2s complement
notation)
ASC 00h
ASCQ 00h
FSC 0Ah
When the READ command terminates in variable mode, the tape is
positioned after the block with the incorrect length (at the start of the
next logical block).
