Parameter List Length
The parameter list length field specifies the length in bytes of the mode
parameter list that shall be contained in the data out sent by the host. The
parameter list length is the sum of the length of the mode page header and
one or more mode pages.
If the parameter list length results in the truncation of the mode parameter
header or mode page, then the command shall be terminated with CHECK
CONDITION status, with the sense key set to ILLEGAL REQUEST, and the
additional sense code set to PARAMETER LIST LENGTH ERROR.
A value of 0000h is not considered an error.
The supported mode pages depend on the bridged tape drive.
