This document contains a C definition of the standard label format for tapes. Programming assistance is not provided in creating programs which make use of this information.
Standard label tapes are 3 records (blocks) of 80 bytes (one line of EBCDIC text) in one write as a file or image on tape. These records are VOL1, HDR1 and HDR2.
