Hi there fellow tape users!

I'm familiar with using DEVCTRL to SET the device parameters for a tape
device, but is there any way to GET those values programatically?

I have a situation where I don't know if a particular tape device (could be
one of many on multiple systems!) is enabled for compression or not. If NOT,
then things are fine. However if compression IS enabled, I need to disable
it for the duration of a :STORE, and then re-enable it. Obviously, I must
ensure that the final setting of the device is exactly as it was before the
:STORE began.

Any ideas?
TIA,
TOny
