Before you re-invent the wheel, I wrote a REXX tape stacking program in 
the 90s (last updated 2002).  It can generate COPYCAT or IEBGENER JCL. Since
COPYCAT can copy the original creation date, jobname, etc. it is preferred.
There is code to generate TMSUPDTE cards when using the IEBGENER option,
but that is only to expire the original tape.  Obviously more work could be 
done to carry forward some other fields from the original tape if desired. 
I originally wrote the program to consolidate 3490 to 3490E in combination
with an STK 9310 SILO so everything would fit into the SILO.

I missed your original post so I don't know if you are running CA-1 or TLMS, 
but my program was written to work with CA-1.   Look for TAPESTAK on 
CBT file 434 or my web site (URL below).
