1. Creating Tape File Objects

The name of the tape file itself is quite irrelevant to the processing of the files on tape. It is the Tape Label field in the CRTTAPF command that is significant. As we are updating a file on tape, both the input file (TAPFIL) and the output file (TAPFIL2) have the same File Label (TAPEFILXMP).
