Because a tape label only has the last 17 characters of the DSN. If you have a tape management system, it may store the complete dsn. If they are cataloged datasets, your task is easier, but not trivial.
If you have a "report writer" for your tape data, it might be possible to generate the proper JCL with some coding. If you have a popular tape system, such a utility might be a candidate for the CBT shareware site, after you develop it. I haven't looked, there just might be something there already.
