VSN needed on TSIO message

When debugging tape issue with IBM support it would be very helpful if TSIO message would include the tape VSN that is on the drive at the time of the error. For example in this message which occurred as part of a tape I/O time out after 16 seconds.
"TSIO0001E 04.49.50 xx BFA 0822 CC3 CCW-43 LPU-?? " the IBM hardware PE team always ask for the tape VSN in question. In the customers environment the messages are sent by automatic to IBM so the tape VSN in the message would be very useful.
