I believe, if STOREd these command should do the trick:

        FILE T;DEV=TAPE
        RESTORE *T;@[log in to unmask]@;LISTDIR

Per :HELP RESTORE PARMS

LISTDIR             This option may not be specified with any other
                    option, other than DIRECTORY.  It displays
                    information from the tape directory and tape
                    label, but does not restore any files.  The type
                    of tape created, the record size, and any files
                    that match your filesetlist are displayed.  If
                    specified with DIRECTORY, the names of the all
                    volume set directories and all HFS directories on
                    the media are also displayed.  The security
                    restrictions that apply to filesetlist also apply
                    here.  The output goes to SYSLIST.

                    The LISTDIR option applies only to NMSTORE tapes.
                    It cannot be used for MPEv format tapes.
