Joe, thanks for the prompt reply. I think your suggestions don't apply here because the customer sent us the output of a batch job which analysed the tape. The interesting part was the allocation messages, the DD statement was:
//TAPEIN DD DSN=RC.MD.SQDS.NPDC.PKLHIST.H2000,DISP=OLD IEF285I RC.MD.SQDS.NPDC.PKLHIST.H2000 KEPT IEF285I VOL SER NOS= R02195. So I think we can assume the volume info is all in the catalog. Our server does a dynamic allocation with DSN and DISP specified, so it's basically the same as the above JCL.
