Press [Return] to use the default device class TAPE
or enter the LDEV number of the device where you want the Customized
System Load Tape (CSLT) to be created. The device you specify applies
to all tape requests.
CAUTION: Failure to specify a valid tape LDEV number will result in a
program hang while writing to tape. If this occurs, a tape request will keep
reappearing and will not take the specified LDEV number as input.
The file equation from the tape device, which is used to
restore files and create the CSLT, defaults to `DEV=TAPE'.
If you prefer to designate a different device, enter its
LDEV number now (RETURN for default)>> _
