¹Only TSO and ISPF/SPF online allow tape mounting.

²For all TSO users (both native TSO and ISPF/SPF), your authorization for online tape mounts is determined by how your system administrator configured your account with the TSO ACCOUNT command. Alternatively, your site may choose to disable all online tape mounts for CA View with the MOUNT=NO option.
