Summary
The following is an extract of defining the parameters and using the IBM QTARTLBL API. This example is used to just retrieve information from the tape itself. Use the MSGID to determine corrections for issues

Message ID's
You can check for the following message ID's:
Blank / No error – No issue found. The program should have returned a tape label CPF6760 – Tape drive not ready. The tape drive is varied on, but no tape is loaded CPF6772 – Volume cannot be processed – Tape is loaded, but it has not been initialized yet. Run INZTAP on it. CPF673A – Tape drive not varied on. Tape drive should be in status VARIED ON for the process to work. If you receive a different message id, run command DSPMSGD CPFxxxxx to see what the error is, and act on it.
