Table 8-4 Types <strong>of</strong> labels<br />

Code Meaning<br />

SL <strong>IBM</strong> Standard Label<br />

AL ISO/ANSI/FIPS labels<br />

SUL Both <strong>IBM</strong> and user header or trailer labels<br />

AUL Both ISO/ANSI/FIPS and user header or trailer labels<br />

NSL Nonstandard labels<br />

NL No labels, but the existence <strong>of</strong> a previous label is verified<br />

BLP Bypass label processing. The data is treated in the same manner as though NL had been<br />

specified, except that the system does not check for an existing volume label. The user is<br />

responsible for the positioning.<br />

If your installation does not allow BLP, the data is treated exactly as though NL had been<br />

specified. Your job can use BLP only if the Job Entry Subsystem (JES) through Job class,<br />

RACF through TAPEVOL class, or DFSMSrmm(*) allow it.<br />

LTM Bypass a leading tape mark. If encountered, on unlabeled tapes from VSE.<br />

Note: If you do not specify the label type, the operating system assumes that the data set<br />

has <strong>IBM</strong> standard labels.<br />
