I've talked with sites that ordered pre-labeled and got EBCDIC - make sure they specify ANSI ASCII.

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.
