You need to use the format command within the RMAN script.

Here is a simple RMAN script as an example:

connect target rman/password@TARG
connect rcvcat rman/password@CAT

run {
set command id to 'something.offline';
#
allocate channel t1 type 'SBT_TAPE'
parms
'ENV=(NSR_SERVER=myserver,NSR_DATA_VOLUME_POOL=7day,NSR_SAVESET_EXPIRATION=7
days)';
allocate channel t2 type 'SBT_TAPE'
parms
'ENV=(NSR_SERVER=myserver,NSR_DATA_VOLUME_POOL=7day,NSR_SAVESET_EXPIRATION=7
days)';
#
backup
  filesperset 4
  skip inaccessible
  tag 'something.offline'
  format 'something.offline_%n.%u'
  (database);
#
release channel t1;
release channel t2;
}
