Initialize tape label generation and call TAPEOUT
See INITLBL and TAPEOUT.
- NAME
- Requesters initials. The initials assigned to the user for the EROS tape archive.
- CODE
- Code for the requesters group. The code assigned to the user's group for the EROS tape archive. For example, Software Development is assigned code 091.
- PROJECT
- Project abbreviation. For example, LAS, AVHRR, etc. All spaces will be converted to underscores.
- DESCRPT
- Description of the tape set. Short description of the contents of the tape set.
- NMONTHS(60)
- Number of months to retain tape. The number of months from today's date that the tapes are to be removed from the tape archive. If allowed to default then the purge date will be set to sixty months from today's date. If a zero is entered, permanent storage is indicated.
- IN
- Input image. IN may be a single or multi-band image and may be of any data type. Window and/or band options may be specified.
- COMMENT
- Description of tape. A text string sent to the operator's terminal describing the tape to be mounted. If a new tape is being created the comment should indicate the type of tape to be used. For example, "please mount a 9-track scratch tape." If there is a specific tape that the images are to be placed on, then the comment should contain the tape library identification number and a short description of the tape. This will allow the operator to ensure that the correct tape is mounted.
- OUTSYS(SAME)
- Output computer system. This represents the computer system for which the output data is being generated. The default is to use the same system on which the tape is being generated.
Hewlett Packard (HP) systems require an even number of bytes in each record. For BYTE images if the number of samples in the input image window is odd, a zero-valued pixel is added to the end of each input line so the output record length is even. A limit of 14,999 samples in the image window is applied.
= SAME: Same as input. = IEEE: IEEE Standard. = HP: Hewlett Packard.
- TAPEDENS(&$TPDENS)
- Tape density. The density of the tape in bits per inch. The default is defined by the TAE global $TPDENS and the list of valid densities are defined by the TAE global $TPVAL.
- SKIPNUM(0)
- Number of files to skip. The number of image files to be skipped on tape prior to writing the LAS image(s). See the User Notes.
- BFORM(BSQ,BSQ,BSQ,BSQ,BSQ,BSQ,BSQ,BSQ,BSQ,BSQ,BSQ,BSQ,BSQ,BSQ, BSQ,BSQ,BSQ,BSQ,BSQ,BSQ,BSQ,BSQ,BSQ,BSQ,BSQ,BSQ,BSQ,BSQ, BSQ,BSQ,BSQ,BSQ,BSQ,BSQ,BSQ,BSQ,BSQ,BSQ,BSQ,BSQ,BSQ,BSQ, BSQ,BSQ,BSQ,BSQ,BSQ,BSQ,BSQ,BSQ)
- Band format. The format of the image data on tape. If there is more than one band in the image, the data may be stored in band sequential (BSQ) or band interleaved by line (BIL) format.
= BSQ: Band sequential. = BIL: Band interleaved by line.
- ODTYPE(SAME,SAME,SAME,SAME,SAME,SAME,SAME,SAME,SAME,SAME,SAME,SAME,SAME, SAME,SAME,SAME,SAME,SAME,SAME,SAME,SAME,SAME,SAME,SAME,SAME,SAME, SAME,SAME,SAME,SAME,SAME,SAME,SAME,SAME,SAME,SAME,SAME,SAME,SAME, SAME,SAME,SAME,SAME,SAME,SAME,SAME,SAME,SAME,SAME,SAME)
- Output data type. The data type of the output image.
= SAME: Same as input = BYTE: BYTE (8-bit unsigned integer) = I*2: INTEGER*2 (16-bit signed integer) = I*4: INTEGER*4 (32-bit signed integer) = R*4: REAL*4 (32-bit signed real)
- BLKSIZ(1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1, 1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1)
- Block size. The number of image lines to be written as a physical tape record.
- LINEINC(1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1, 1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1)
- Line increment. Specifies that every LINEINCth line, beginning with the starting line of the input window, becomes part of the image written to tape. Increasing the line increment reduces the number of lines in the output image. The default results in all lines of the input image being placed in the image on tape.
- SAMPINC(1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1, 1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1)
- Sample increment. Specifies that every SAMPINCth sample, beginning with the starting sample of the input window, becomes part of the image written to tape. Increasing the sample increment reduces the number of samples in the output image. The default results in all samples of the input image being placed in the image on tape.
- DDRFLG(YES,YES,YES,YES,YES,YES,YES,YES,YES,YES,YES,YES,YES,YES,YES, YES,YES,YES,YES,YES,YES,YES,YES,YES,YES,YES,YES,YES,YES,YES, YES,YES,YES,YES,YES,YES,YES,YES,YES,YES,YES,YES,YES,YES,YES, YES,YES,YES,YES,YES)
- DDR flag. Option to copy the DDR of the input image to tape.
= YES: Copy the DDR. The DDR from the input image is copied to tape. = NO: Do not copy the DDR. The DDR is not copied to tape.
- MVOLFLG(NO)
- Multi-volume flag. This flag allows the user to specify whether images are to be split across several tapes or not. See the User Notes.
= YES: Split images across tapes if needed = NO: Do not split images across tapes
- ERRFLG(YES)
- Error flag. Allows the user to specify how error conditions should be handled.
= YES: Stop processing on errors. If an error is encountered the tape is backspaced to the beginning of the current file, an EOV mark is written, and TAPEOUT is aborted. = NO: Continue processing on errors. If an error is encountered, the tape is backspaced to the beginning of the current file, an error message is issued, and subsequent images are copied to tape.
- ASCFLG(NO)
- ASCII DDR flag. This flag allows the user to specify whether DDRs are output in ASCII or binary form. The ASCII form of a DDR is similar to the output of the DSPDDR application.
= YES: Copy the DDR as an ASCII file. = NO: Copy the DDR as an binary file.
- AFTFLG(NO)
- DDR placement flag. This flag allows the user to specify where the ASCII DDR is to be written on the tape. This flag is ignored when writing the DDR in binary form.
= YES: Put the ASCII DDR after the image. = NO: Put the ASCII DDR before the image.
- NRETRIES(0)
- Number of retries to perform. The number of times the user wants to start again if an error is encountered.
Call INITLBL and then call TAPEOUT.Fatal Error Message:
- [tapelbl-fatal] Fatal error encountered
A fatal error was encountered. The message that is displayed preceding this message was the error that was encountered.
