The CREATE VOLUMEENTRY command allows the recording field in the volume records of a tape library to be created with subparameters of EFMT3 or EEFMT3 with the following rules:

• EFMT3 subparameter indicates READ/WRITE on an EFMT3 track device.
• EEFMT3 subparameter indicates READ/WRITE on an EEFMT3 device.
• EFMT3 is only allowed with media types MEDIA5, MEDIA6, MEDIA7, MEDIA8, MEDIA9, or MEDIA10. Any use of MEDIA1 through MEDIA4 will produce an IDC3226I error message being displayed twice. Once for EFMT3 and once for the media in question. The double display indicates an incompatibility between the EFMT3 subparameter and the media type displayed.
• EEFMT3 is only allowed with media types MEDIA5, MEDIA6, MEDIA7, MEDIA8, MEDIA9, or MEDIA10. Any use of MEDIA1 through MEDIA4 produces an IDC3226I error message being displayed twice. Once for EEFMT3 and once for the media in question. The double display indicates an incompatibility between the EEFMT3 subparameter and the media type displayed.
• If MEDIA5, MEDIA6, MEDIA7, or MEDIA8 are specified and RECORDING is not specified, default to EFMT1 for RECORDING value.
• If MEDIA9 or MEDIA10 are specified and RECORDING is not specified, default to EFMT2 for RECORDING value.
