CAP by the LSM on which it resides. A CAPid is of 
the form AA:LL:CC where AA is the ACSid (00-FF 
hexadecimal), LL is the LSM number (00-17 
hexadecimal), and CC is the CAP number. Some 
commands and utilities permit an abbreviated CAPid 
format of AA:LL.
cartridge— The plastic housing around the tape. It is 
approximately 4 inches (100 mm) by 5 inches (125

maps its subdivision into subfiles. 
control data set free blocks— CDS blocks available 
for future subfile expansion. 
control data set pointer blocks— CDS blocks that 
contain pointers to map data blocks belonging to a
