ASSIGN Attaches a tape unit to the terminal and assigns channel identity, if specified, and/or tape parameters, to the unit.
CLEAR-ASSIGN Cancels channel assignments and detaches the tape unit previously assigned.
T-ATT Attaches a tape unit to the terminal and assigns tape parameters.
T-DET Detaches a tape unit.
SPACE Performs multiple T-FWD commands.
T-BCK Moves the tape back a specified number of records to the position just after an EOF mark, or to the load point.
T-FWD Moves the tape forward a specified number of records to the point just after an EOF mark.
T-REW Rewinds the tape.
CHECK Checks a specified number of sequential tape files for parity errors.
T-CHK Checks a tape for parity errors.
T-UNLOAD Rewinds the tape and puts the tape unit off-line.
T-VERIFY Compares two tapes to check for data mismatch.
DISCTOTAPE Writes data items created on disk by the TAPETODISC command back to tape so as to create an identical binary image of the original tape.
ST-DUMP Sorts and writes selected items to tape.
T-DUMP Writes selected items to tape.
T-LOAD Loads items saved with the T-DUMP and ST-DUMP commands.
T-READ Dumps the contents of a tape to the terminal or printer.
T-WEOF Writes an EOF mark to tape.
TAPETODISC Reads data from tape to disk, creating a database item for each tape block. Any type of data can be written, including binary data.
T-READ Reads or prints the contents of a Tape.
T-RDLBL Reads, displays and stores the label from the tape.
T-STATUS Reports the current status of each magnetic tape drive on the system.
T-COPY Performs tape-to-tape copies. This requires more than one tape unit.
T-ERASE Prepares a QIC (quarter inch cartridge) tape for new data to be written.
T-RETENSION Winds a QIC tape forward, then back to the beginning-of-tape (BOT) marker, so as to retain the tension in the tape.
T-DEVICE Redefines the tape device definition for a specified tape unit.
T-STACKER Enables multi-reel FILE-SAVE/RESTORE operations to be carried out on a multiple cassette tape stacker/autoloader unit without needing to type ‘C’ to continue at the end of each tape.
SP-TAPEOUT Reads a tape created via the Spooler and outputs jobs to the current Spooler assignment.
