RE: command to check if write protect is set for loaded tape?

Hopefully the CHKTAP gives you the information to determine if the
correct volume is loaded, if not, you did not pass the test.  If you
pass, meaning correct volume loaded, you can do the INZTAP to see if it
is write protected.

Are you verifying the volume is correct?  I'd worry that someone didn't
rotate the tape and you'll wipe it out with an INZTAP.  Is it practical
for the operator to do the INZTAP onsite after mounting the tape?

After the CHKTAP passes, INZTAP using the volume label found in the
CHKTAP.
