I could build multi-data-set tapes starting with a nonspecific
VOLSER with the power of JCL. I once did this in Rexx, scanning
the TIOT (Thanks, Steve Bacher) for the volser of the first
data set, and specifying that in the BPXDYN() for following
data sets. (I had to persuade my sysprog te allow me to
DYNALLOC tapes.) Then it dismounted, remounted, and repositioned
the tape for each data set. Yuck! I want DYNALLOC RETAIN,VOL=REF.
DISP=PASS will leave the tape mounted and not rewound if I remember.
I think that one of the SVC99 Parms supports RETAIN so you can go
that route also.
