11	16-19	LOGICAL RECORD SEQUENCE NUMBER. Sequentially binary count of all logical records by record type written on this tape/file. The count is incremented by one after each successful write. Initially, the number is set to one.

11 11	20-22 23	SPARES 1: STO sounder on 1:STO sounder off RECORD CREATION DATE Actual date this record was written. This value taken from system clock.
11	24-31	Write Date - Year (year minus 1900)
12	0-15	Write Date - Day (day of year)
12	16-31	BIT ERROR RATE Summation of the number of sync word errors detected in 10ES bits of frame sync words displayed as a percentage (binary).
13 13	0-15 16-31	SYMBOL SIGNAL-TO-NOISE RATION (SNR) The Symbol SNR from the GCF block from which the first minor frame of the current record was derived (binary). RECEIVER AUTOMATIC GAIN CONTROL (AGC) AGC extracted from the GCF block from which the first minor frame of the current record was derived
14	0-31	DATA PRESENCE INDICATOR (DPI) FLAGS 32 status flags indicating whether minor frames 1-32 are present in this record. 0 = data present 1 = all or part of minor frame missing
