ZMCS-TKN-TAPEDRIVE
specifies the tape drive name. Include the node name when the tape drive is not on

ZMCS-TKN-TAPEFILEID
specifies the name of the tape file to catalog. When given, it must be the first

specify the tape file ID if no tape file ID is in the tape label.

an existing label or the name that goes in the tape label when you create a labeled

(255 is reserved for a user ID as it is for a group ID.)
