Description of command
Searches the date and time designated by the parameter in
the direction designated by the parameter.
The unit is set to STILL mode upon completion of the
search.

from the unit, and the STOP mode is established.
If the OSP (STOP) command or OEJ (tape EJECT)
command is assigned during operation, error code ERI is
returned from the unit.
If the unit's operation mode has been changed by an
operation at its front panel, error code ERF is returned from
the unit.
If the tape reaches its start or end during operation, error
code ERP is returned from the unit.
When data differing from the reference data has been sent,
error code ERE is returned from the unit.
