Subject: [HP3000-L] devctrl parameters question

hi again,

I think I need some help on understanding the parameters for the devctrl 
statement I have in a job stream for a backup job we run nightly.  I see
that 
the parms are for  'compression','eject' and 'load', right?  In my job, I
have this 
statement:

" !devctrl.mpexl.telesup 7,nochange,enable "

Does this mean that there's no compression and eject is enabled?  The 3rd 
command is not there.  We noticed that when this job is completed, the green

light is not on the drive.  Is that because we don't have the 3rd 
parameter "online" ?  I've never dealt with this before and was wondering
what 
you think.  It's a matter of me not understanding the parameters. 

thanks!
