   Use the LABELDUMP command to find out the magnetically recorded label
   (if any) of a magnetic tape.

   Format:

   LABELDUMP [(visual identifier)]

   The volume label, as defined in the Tape Management System (TMS)
   may be obtained by typing:

   SYSREQ QUERY VID vid (VSN



2 Parameters
  (visual identifier)

  Specifies the number of the tape on the tape reel itself.
  If you do not specify this parameter, you are prompted for it.

2 Qualifiers

 This qualifer requires SYSPRV and is primarily of use for debugging
 new versions of the LABELDUMP command. If specified, extra debug information
 will be displayed during command processing.

/WAIT

   /WAIT     (Default in BATCH)
   /NOWAIT   (Default otherwise)

  This parameter controls whether LABELDUMP will exit if all tape drives
