TAPEMGR$HELP.HLB  —  TAPEMGR  SET
   TAPEMGR SET device

 	This command allows selection of the used tape format for the specified
 	device. It also allows setting autoload compress and the maximum file size.

1    /AUTOLOAD

  /AUTOLOAD
  /NOAUTOLOAD

 	If this qualifier is present then the tape will automatically be loaded
 	and be ready for use. If /NOAUTOLOAD is specified then the tape will
 	not be automatically loaded and needs to be loaded with the TAPEMGR LOAD
 	command.

 	Do not use autoloading with multi-volume backups or small container files
 	since they will be overwritten when a volume switch is needed.

2    /COMPRESS

  /COMPRESS
  /NOCOMPRESS

 	If this qualifier is present then records will be compressed while written
 	to the tape. If /NOCOMPRESS is specified compression will be disabled.

 	Compression status must be set before the tape is initialized.

3    /FORMAT

  /FORMAT=(DEFAULT,MTD,SMA,LM)

 	The following virtual container file formats are supported:

 	DEFAULT
 	MTD
 	LM
 	SMA

4    /MAXIMUMSIZE

  /MAXIMUMSIZE=xxx

 	This qualifier allow specification of the maximum container file size
 	in megabytes. Once this size is reached the virtual drive will return
 	a 'tape full' status which allow a volume switch.
