Use the TAPESIZE and LTAPESIZE configuration parameter parameters to specify the maximum amount of data that you can write to a tape. To write or read the tape to the end of the device, set TAPESIZE and LTAPESIZE to 0. You cannot use this option for remote devices. When you specify the tape device as /dev/null, the corresponding tape size is ignored. The range of values for these parameters is 0 - 2,097,151. we can see the above information in the following links : http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSGU8G_11.50.0/com .ibm.bar.doc/ids_bar_301.htm?lang=en http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSGU8G_11.70.0/com .ibm.bar.doc/ids_bar_301.htm http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSGU8G_12.1.0/com. ibm.bar.doc/ids_bar_301.htm Per development the correct value is 0 to 2,097,151, it is not 0 to any positive number.
