Table 5–15 LOCATE Command Descriptor Block - Field Descriptions
Field Name Description
BT Block Type. The Block Type bit indicates how the Block Address field is
interpreted. The first recorded object (block or filemark) is at address 0,
and Block Addresses count both data blocks and filemarks.
CP Change Partition. Since multiple partitions are not supported, this bit
must be set to 0.
Immed Immediate. If this bit is set to 1, status is returned as soon as the
operation is started. If set to 0, status is returned after the operation has
completed.
Block Address The Block Address field defines the SCSI Logical Block Address to which
the media will be positioned. These addresses start at address 0 and
include data blocks and filemarks. They could also be considered an
object address.
Partition Not applicable (see Change Partition field above).
