TapeOperationError, -- The Tape Server could not complete the operation because the tape drive status was not as expected.
TapeUserError -- This error is raised when an operation could not be performed because of an inapropriate user operation like Tape Not Mounted, Write Protect Ring Out on a Write, Drive Number In use or SetDensity attempted while tape was not at BOT.

The only errors that cause the tape connection not to established or to be broken are NameLookUpError, ServerControlStreamAbort and ServerProtocolError.

-- Procs
OpenDrive: PROC [serverName: ROPE, driveNumber: NAT ← 0, density: Density ← PE1600,
justOpen: BOOLFALSE] RETURNS [tapeHandle: TapeHandle];
Opens a connection with the MagTapeServer specified by the serverName and driveNumber parameters, if justOpen is FALSE a Rewind operation is performed and the density is established for subsequent operations.
Raises TapeOpsError with TapeUserError, or TapeOperationError. If the error is raised no TapeHandle is created.
CloseDrive: PROC [tapeHandle: TapeHandle];
CloseDrive releases the tape drive back to the server, and closes the BSP connection. The tape is left in position.
GetStatus: PROC [tapeHandle: TapeHandle] RETURNS [status: TapeStatus];
Returns the current status of the Tape Drive in use. If all bits are off it is an indication that the tape is mounted but not ReaDY. If both the BOT and EOT markers are on at the same time, it is an indication that the tape is not loaded.
Raises TapeOpsError with code ServerProtocolError
SetRetry: PROC [tapeHandle: TapeHandle, retryCount: RetryCount ← 4];
Sets the number of times that a Data operation is to be retried by the server.
SetDensity: PROC [tapeHandle: TapeHandle, density: Density];
Sets the tape density {800 or 1600 bpi} at which operations are to be performed. This command can only be issued at BOT since there is extra data written at the front of a 1600 bpi tape to indicated its density.
Rewind: PROC
[tapeHandle: TapeHandle, waitForCompletion: BOOLFALSE] RETURNS [status: TapeStatus];
Rewind the tape. If waitForCompletion is true the procedure will not return until the operation was completed or the op timed out.
Unload: PROC [tapeHandle: TapeHandle] RETURNS [status: TapeStatus];
Unloads the tape from the transport. It does not close the server connection.
ReadRecord: PROC [tapeHandle: TapeHandle, buffer: REF TEXTNIL]
RETURNS [tapeMark: BOOL, record: REF TEXT, status: TapeStatus];
Reads the tape into the buffer supplied, if it is alrge enough to hold the record, and returns this buffer or a NEW one, if buffer was too small, and tapeMark if an end of file mark was encountered on the tape. If a soft error is found TapeOpsWarning is raised. A return of TRUE causes the operation to proceed normally. If FALSE is returned, the operation is terminated.
WriteRecord: PROC
[tapeHandle: TapeHandle, writeData: REF READONLY TEXT] RETURNS [status: TapeStatus];
Writes the data in writeData on the tape. The length of the data is writeData.Length.
WriteFileMark: PROC [tapeHandle: TapeHandle] RETURNS [status: TapeStatus];
Writes a file mark onto the tape.
ForwardSpaceFile: PROC [tapeHandle: TapeHandle] RETURNS [status: TapeStatus];
Moves the tape in a forward direction until a tapemark has been read. If there is no tapemark on the tape, the tape will run-away until the EOT marker is encountered.
ForwardSpaceRecord: PROC [tapeHandle: TapeHandle] RETURNS [status: TapeStatus];
Moves the tape forward 1 record. The data is NOT read.
BackSpaceFile: PROC [tapeHandle: TapeHandle] RETURNS [status: TapeStatus];
Moves the tape in a backward direction until 1 tapemark has been read. If there is no tapemark on the tape, the tape will proceed until the BOT marker is encountered.
BackSpaceRecord: PROC [tapeHandle: TapeHandle] RETURNS [status: TapeStatus];
Moves the tape backward 1 record. The data is NOT read.
END.
