I'm not sure I understand the question. Are you thinking there are stacked
virtual volumes
like Oracle/STK VSM? The virtual tapes are just like physical tapes and you can
print them any number of utilities.
Or are you asking from a DLm perspective? If so, research the "awsprint"
command
from DLm.
It just asking about from z/OS, again... lots of utilities. From ISV
(FATS/FATAR)
to IBM DITTO, to IEBGENER to "print" the contents. If just interested in
labels,
I haven't used this PROC in probably 25 years, but here is something to just
print
the labels.
//MPROC PROC HP=1
//PS10 EXEC PGM=IEBPTPCH
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSUT1 DD DSN=MZELDEN.TAPE,
// DISP=(SHR,KEEP,KEEP),
// UNIT=TAPE,
// LABEL=(&HP,BLP,EXPDT=98000),
// VOL=SER=vvvvvv,
// DCB=(RECFM=F,LRECL=80,BLKSIZE=80)
//SYSUT2 DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD DDNAME=SYSIN1
//MPROC PEND
//*****************************
//* HP=1 FOR VOL1 HDR1 HDR2 *
//* HP=3 FOR EOF1 EOF2 *
//*****************************
//JS10 EXEC PROC=MPROC,HP=1
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN1 DD *
PRINT MAXFLDS=1
TITLE ITEM=('TAPE LABEL INFO',30)
RECORD FIELD=(80,1)
LABELS DATA=YES
