Hmm ... yes, that's what I would have suspected ... like QUERY DASD
DETAILS.
q tape details e00
TAPE 0E00 SEQUENCE NUMBER 10568 LIBPORT 1
Ready; T=0.01/0.01 09:12:16
Thinking back, I guess I never simply tried the command ... I was more
distressed by the fact that I could not find the correct syntax via HELP
(could IBM have forgotten to update the QUERY TAPES Help in the GA
release?):
