In order for anyone to evaluate this issue we need to see the job in its entirety. We do not need to see the job statement and you can mask out anything that's proprietary or confidential. We may need the JES2 JOB LOG data set for the failing job, with anything that is proprietary or confidential masked out.
I've been in this trade for more than 40 years. In all that time I've never heard of a U0061 ABEND in IEBGENER.
If, as you suspect, there is nothing on the tape you will most likely see some obscure Sx13 ABEND.
I am not aware of any "tape verify" utility as such. I am aware of a utility in CBT to analyze standard tape labels that could serve the purpose of a "tape verify" utility, and I can suggest other ideas after seeing the failing JCL, but that's about it.
