The LIBMT command lists a library maintenance tape in hexadecimal format. The tape must have been made available by using the UL system command.

Syntax

── LIBMT ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤

LIBMT produces a listing of a library tape in hexadecimal form. In addition, the listing identifies the position of tape marks.

Library maintenance tapes have a special structure. If you use the LIST command in DUMPALL to print a file on a library maintenance tape, the display does not correspond exactly to a display of the original disk file. If you use the COPY command in DUMPALL to copy a file from a library tape, the copied file does not have the structure of the original disk file, and the copy contains extra data.
