How did this tape get created? Was it created on a VSE system? If so not
all of the label information is filled out and so *YOU* have to supply
the actual physical record size (BLKSIZE) along with the other DCB info.
UNLESS you are using LBI. In that case, the "LEGACY" BLKSIZE will be 0
but the "new" data areas will be filled out.
AFAIR the LBI does NOT change the meaning of existing fields. It simply
*adds* new field (previously unused) as high-order bytes for BLKSIZE. So
existing block size field still has a meaningful value.
