I use *DLT per an earlier suggestion you posted here some years ago.
Right now I'm re-initializing said tape with CLEAR(*YES) so that I can trash
it!

It depends. Do you use VOLSTAT(*DLT or *KEEP)? If you're using *DLT and
you're getting that many errors on a weekly basis - nuke it. But if you use
one tape (foolish) every night for the last 15 years and you're using *KEEP,
your opinion may differ.
I'm also guessing, since you're running V5R1, that your tape drive isn't
exactly 'leading edge'. IOW, used tapes for that should be a dime a dozen
(figuratively). Just replace them.
