Further to my earlier answer about the DCBE .... 
It is possible that CA-1 picks the value up from the Tape Exits Parameters, 
Main parameter list. The TEPM, mapped by IFGTEP, created by O/C/EOV and passed 
to tape installation exits. If CA-1 does not use the installation exits 
interface it will have to crawl through the DCB to DCBE for cases where the LBI 
is used.

There is a technote on the CBTtape
