It didn't for us, maybe the cartridge made the difference.
We called IBM support and they told us it wouldn't be possible.
That was around 1991..1993.
It seemed strange for me too, and in the end we took NL tapes.
I even have some of those JCLs:

...
//SYSUT2   DD  DISP=(NEW,PASS),
//             DSN=xxxxxx,
//*            LABEL=(1,AL),UNIT=T3480,VOL=SER=RAW322,
//             LABEL=(1,NL),UNIT=T3480,VOL=SER=RAW322,
//             DCB=(RECFM=FB,LRECL=8192,BLKSIZE=24576)
