Tom,  When LABEL=BLP is used, OPEN checks if the TAPEVOL class is active 
and if so, issues RACROUTE.  To be authorized you need access to the 
TAPEVOL resource for the volume and also the ICHBLP resource in FACILITY 
class. Turning off TAPEVOL class would remove the controls of use of BLP.

RMM does not really protect data sets on tape. It does allow use of DATASET 
profiles for authorizing access to RMM information about data sets and 
volumes.  It is OPEN via SAF that protects the tape data set contents.
