• The maximum block size that may be processed (up to
24,576 bytes) depends on the available task memory and the
processing features that are invoked. The Tape Client is able
to allocate at least one input buffer for offline tape jobs when
the tapes are written in maximum size blocks.
• The LENGTH parameter may be overridden by ANSI or IBM
OS/Standard labels that specify block length.
