Sure is.
Method 1.
/:help devctrl
USER DEFINED COMMAND FILE: DEVCTRL.CMD.SYS
parm Dev, Compression="Nochange", Eject="Nochange", Load="Nochange"
devctrl.mpexl.telesup !Dev, !Compression, !Eject, !Load
/
Method 2. (If you have MPEX)
/:help online
USER DEFINED COMMAND FILE: ONLINE.CMD.SYS
parm ldev=0
comment Uses MPEX %devcontrol to put a tape/dat 'online'
/%devcontrol !ldev;online
/
Hope this helps.
