Abstract
In one embodiment, data are converted, with the aid of corresponding rules and headers, into data having a fixed block length in such a way that, with the CTL bit definition, no clashes with known data structures of the CTL track such as VISS and VASS occur. The effect achieved by this is that any desired data can be stored on the control track.
