You gotta a "tape", give it a try and see what the RC is and what
of the variables it sets, are set.
If I had tape, I'd try it for you, because this is something I
should know given what I'm working on in my spare time.

LISTDSI has a FILENAME option to test a ddname.
r == LISTDSI(ABCXYZ FILE)
Will that work for tapes?
Most infuriatingly, I learned long ago thatn LISTDSI(ABCXYZ FILE)
returns attributes of the FILE as I had intended, but those from the
DSCB if it can find one, simply failing if it can't. But as LBD reports,
with a distinct return code. Not as useful as it might be.
