To stop the program at any other time, press the Break key and enter the STOP command at the
TACL prompt.

Dismounting a Tape

When you dismount a tape from a tape drive, $ZSVR issues this status message:
STATUS 1512: vid TAPE DISMOUNTED FROM DRIVE drive
vid
is the ID of the volume on which the tape was mounted.
drive
is the drive on which the volume was mounted.
$ZSVR is cannot to detect when you have manually dismounted a tape from a tape drive until you
mount another tape on the drive (or until you open the drive). In these situations, $ZSVR issues the
status message after a new tape is mounted or the tape drive is opened.
If you manually dismount an unlabeled tape and mount another unlabeled tape on the same drive,
$ZSVR does not detect a tape dismount and does not issue the status message.
The volume ID printed in the status message (vid) is incorrect if the dismount is caused by any of
these commands:
CLOSE command of a LABELS BYPASS OPEN
MEDIACOM LABEL (IBM) command without the NOUNLOAD option
UNLABEL command without the NOUNLOAD option
RELABEL (IBM) command without the NOUNLOAD option
SCRATCH command without the NOUNLOAD option
DUMPLABELS command without the NOUNLOAD option
The volume ID printed in the status message corresponds to the volume that was online when the
LABELS BYPASS OPEN command was issued (or during the labeling operation). If a volume was
not online (or the volume online was an unlabeled volume), the volume ID is blank in the status
message.
