Re: Tape usage amount

[Dr Syd Nicholson <sydnic@xxxxxxxxxx>]

You could try a DSPTAP. This information tells you how many blocks have
been used, and what the block size is. Multiply the two figures together
and you have an estimation of how many bytes are stored on the tape.

The value for the "File length" is the number of blocks used for each
item on the tape.
