Label Format Types

The label format determines how the tape library passes the label values to the host application. Oracle recommends using the default setting.

No type checking

Passes all characters in the label without modification and without checking the media domain and type. Use this option if your labels do not identify the media type: M123456789AB does not, for example, contain a media descriptor, such as L5.

Prepend last two characters

Passes all the characters after moving the last two characters in the label to the front: KL1020L5 is translated to L5KL1020.

Full label

Passes the first eight characters in the physical label: KL1020L5 is translated to KL1020L5.

Trim last character

Passes the first seven characters in the physical label: KL1020L is translated to KL1020L.

Trim last two characters (default)

Passes the first six characters in the physical label: KL1020L5 is translated to KL1020.

Trim first two characters

Passes the third through eighth characters in the physical label: KL1020L5 is translated to 1020L5.

Trim first character

Passes the second through eighth characters in the physical label: KL1020L5 is translated to L1020L5.
