Possible. Other tape management software does that more or less the same. Either your request is failed immediately or you get something written you did not intend at all.

Depending on usage of certain FACILITY class profiles in RACF, you can override default actions. >If you use rmm, just try it by coding LABEL=NL in your JCL. and see what >EDGxxxxI messages are issued Good suggestion as long it is on a test tape/cartridge (and keeping your DBAs happy). This is what we did to test out different usage when we got a new tape management system and/or robot.
