Additional Sense Code Qualifier – If the element is in an abnormal state, this field will be set to a value
as described in
Table 71 on page 72.
Source Valid (Svalid) – This field is set to 1 if the Source Storage Element Address field is valid, otherwise
it is set to 0.
Invert – This field is set to 0. The library does not support inverting media.
Source Storage Element Address – If the Source Valid field is set to 1, this field will contain the element
address of the last storage element the media was in. Since the medium transport element cannot be a
destination element, this would be an abnormal condition.
Primary Volume Tag – This field will normally return spaces if the primary volume tag is requested, since
the medium transport element cannot be a destination element. In certain error situations, a volume tag will
be returned to indicate which cartridge may be stranded within the picker.

in the Additional Sense Code and Additional Sense Code Qualifier fields. If this field is 1, the primary volume
tag information could be invalid. This field is set to 0 if the element is in a normal state.
Full – This field is set to 0 if the element does not contain media. It is set to 1 if it does.
Additional Sense Code – If the element is in an abnormal state, this field will be set to a value as described
