One example is an INQUIRY command.  The inquiry data length is
target-specific.  Typically the CDB allocation length (and DL) are set
to some arbitrary large value (0xff), and the target sends back
everything it has.  The transfer ends with success status.

There can certainly be transfer residual and no SCSI error status.
