Thanks guys for all your help, special thanks to Paul E Musselman for his extended explanation of how to make it working.

Here are simple CL instructions to make it working.

First of all create two Tape Categories:
CRTTAPCGY CGY(INUSE)
CRTTAPCGY CGY(IDLE)

1) Mount the tape from the Media Library.
DCL &VOL *CHAR 6
CHGTAPCTG DEV(TAPMLB03) CTG(&VOL) CGY(INUSE *CURRENT)
SETTAPCGY DEV(TAPMLB03) OPTION(*MOUNTED) CGY(INUSE) CTGORDER(*NEXTAVAIL) TGTCGY(IDLE) MNTID(IDLE)

2) Execute your command like INZTAP, SAVLIB, SAVOBJ, even GO SAVE #21, #22 or #23

3) Unmount the tape just used.
SETTAPCGY DEV(TAPMLB03) OPTION(*DEMOUNTED)
CHGTAPCTG DEV(TAPMLB03) CTG(&VOL) CGY(IDLE *CURRENT)

&VOL must match with the Tape's Bar Code of the Tape Autoloader.

If during tests the Multi Library device gets locked and there is timeouts, just vary off and on.
