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.

Regards

Neil Harvey
