Seems dangerous to me: duplicate data set names on different tapes would confuse it (plus, if the DSN is long, the entire DSN does not actually appear in the tape label). I worked with OS/360 and MVS in my career and we never did anything like that with it.
So you'd trust your job to a 9-5 operator who really didn't care what the machine was doing to make tape assignments?
Wow. Good thing that tapes have write-enable rings. --Chuck
