Is there a way to see if the attached tape drive has a write ring in it?

I'm using DSMEXIT1 and EPIC/CMS for tape management.  The only problem is
that I have no way to specify that the tape must have write ring in it.  So
the operator keeps mounting the same tape, and ADSM keeps unloading it
because it doesn't have a write ring in it.

Thanks,
