I have been bitten before by not "labeling" tapes that were ordered prelabeled.
ALWAYS LABEL LIBV!~!!!

TSM writes the same IBM standard internal label as MVS does, even if not
running on MVS.
But as Bill said, order them ASCII labels.

I am throwing this out the list to get an answer. If you order
"pre-labeled" tapes to use with TSM, does this mean that they do not need
to go through the "label libv" process? This may seem like a silly
question, but we have a customer who want to order pre-labeled (and
barcoded) tapes, but I always thought that meant labeled for use by an MVS
system, not necessarily for use by a TSM system. They are ordering a large
batch of tapes, and if they don't have to be "labeled" with TSM, this could
save them a lot of time. Thanks for any answers to this.
