Summary of esoteric translation results for various tape devices

Table 1 describes the headings and Table 2 describes the esoteric translation results if a tape that is already known to DFSMShsm is selected for output. Ensure that the conditions described in Optimizing cartridge loaders by restricting output to devices with cartridge loaders have been satisfied.

Table 1. Legend for Esoteric Unit Name and Resulting Translation Occurring during Volume Selection
Heading	Description
ADDVOL DEVICE TYPE	Device name assigned to the tape with the ADDVOL command (generic or esoteric) prior to being used for output. The device name can be generic (for example, 3490, 3480X, 3480 or 3590-1) or the device name can be esoteric (a user-defined name).
HWC	SETSYS TAPEHARDWARECOMPACT setting
RESTRICTED UNIT	Output device restriction
ACL	That all devices in a given esoteric have the ACL feature
SETSYS USERUNITTABLE	SETSYS USERUNITTABLE setting
TRANSLATION RESULT	Device name that is associated with the tape after output. This device name is used for subsequent allocations of the tape for input. ES3480 or ESI3480 Esoteric unit names that are associated with 3480 devices ES3480X or ESI3480X Esoteric unit names that are associated with 3480X devices ES3490 or ESI3490 Esoteric unit names that are associated with 3490 devices ES3590 or ESI3590 Esoteric unit names that are associated with 3590 devices NA Not applicable
