Russ, do you have any idea if this affects programs like FDRABR and
COPYCAT which create multiple files in the same program execution?
The text refers to passed and RETAINed tapes, but it is not clear
about multiple OPENs.
We have the default of YES, so I GTF traced a multiple file create on an
A/S tape. There is no rewind and read of VOL1 between files. So this
apparently only affects tapes that are actually passed to another step.
In any case, it seems that it should be set to NO if all of the systems
sharing the A/S tape are OS/390 2.10 or z/OS, in which case they all use
the current A/S sharing protocol and the problem of a foreign tape being
mounted are nil
