The SIZE function reads either labeled or unlabelled tapes, calculates the appropriate amount of data on the tapes, and reports the results.
SIZE can be used to help determine the total amount of data in use on a number of tapes as a guide to determining the quantity of higher-density media that are required as the target of a stacking operation.
Examples
The following are examples of commands using the SIZE function:
-
U TSU SIZE UNITNO=91
-
U TSU OUTFILE=PRINTER SIZE 001-004
Sample Run
The following is an example of the output of a SIZE run:
U TSU SIZE UNITNO=95, TAPE02, UNITNO=95 #RUNNING 68212 SIZING TAPE(S) [TAPE01] ON MT95 CONTAINS 3.126 MB [TAPE02] ON MT95 CONTAINS 24.498 MB (UL) ON MT95 CONTAINS 500.000 MB TOTAL SIZE OF ALL 3 TAPE(S) PROCESSED IS 527.624 MB #ET=5.6 PT=0.2 IO=4.3
