When using BLP, there's really no such thing as a multi-volume tape data set - especially if the tape actually contains standard labels.
You MIGHT be able to concatenate volume 1 and volume 2. Perhaps something like this: //DUMPIN DD DSN=DOES.NOT.MATTER,DISP=OLD,LABEL=(2,BLP),UNIT=3490, // VOL=SER=VOLUM1 // DD DSN=STILL.DOES.NOT.MATTER,DISP=OLD,LABEL=(2,BLP), // UNIT=AFF=DUMPIN,VOL=SER=VOLUM2 In other words, however you have coded the JCL for the first volume, repeat exactly that DD statement for volume 2, except for the UNIT= and the VOL=SER= values.
