This parameter defines whether TAPE is supported.

The valid values of this parameter are as follows:

• IMMED: specifies that the remote file is available to users as soon as the file transfer is completed. This is the default and the best practice.
• DEFER: requests that the remote file availability be deferred if the remote system uses this option. Most remote systems do not use this option.
