The full syntax (load added with 5.5, now you can put the tape back online
without having to eject and reload) is

DEVCTRL.MPEXL.TELESUP dev=(ldev) eject=(enable) compression=(enable)
load=(online)
                                       (disable)            (disable)
(offline)
                                       (nochange)           (nochange)
(nochange)
