Specifies the type of tape and, for labeled tapes, the
label processing mode to be used
If you specify LABELS, you must also specify VOLUME.
ANSI: The tape file is on an ANSI-standard labeled tape,
and the system is to perform standard label processing
on the file (LP mode).

and the system is to perform standard label processing
on the file (LP mode). Any DEFINE that includes
LABELS IBM must also include RECFORM.

tape, and the system does no label processing except to
check that tape is not a standard labeled tape (NL
mode). If you specify LABELS OMITTED, you must also
include DEVICE.

does not check whether tape is labeled (BLP mode). If
you specify LABELS BYPASS, you must also include
DEVICE.

RESTORE operations. (LABELS BYPASS is also
acceptable for tapes to be read in RESTORE
operations, but not for tapes written by BACKUP
operations.)
IBMBACKUP: Indicates that the tape label is in IBM-
MVS format used by BACKCOPY, BACKUP, and
RESTORE.
