Another link related to this subject:

In the description of the DCB macro for BSAM on pages 69 and 71 (83rd and 85th 
PDF pages) is a description of DEVD=PT for paper tape devices. Ditto for QSAM 
on pages 97 and 99.

What's more, you can code DEVD=PT on the lastest z/OS systems and it will be 
accepted, even though it is not documented. You can also find the words "PAPER 
TAPE" in comments in the DCB macro on z/OS.
