It's been a while since I worked on VSE but IDCAMS is not as quick as DITTO
and IDCAMS won't give you the tape control, as you say there is
allocation/deallocation. If you can listen to the tape drive you should be
able to detect if there is rewind and re-position occurring.

Carl,
I'll take a WAG that you are rewinding the tape at the close of every output
file on the cartridge, and then repositioning to the end of the last file to
write the next file in sequence.

We have a series of jobs that use IDCAMS to move data from one platform
to another

First thought that came to mind, but not the case. BTW
We have a series of jobs that use IDCAMS to move data
from one platform to another. There are several
hundred files stacked on tape, which was created by
REPRO. These tapes are then read by the Z/os target
system and loaded to the appropriate files. While the
jobs runs, they seems to run forever.
