Thousands!?  Not just one with parameters!?

The design is wrong.  It will remain broken until it's fixed.

Facing a similar requirement once, I appended a minimal data set
with a unique name to each tape and catalogued that.  I needed to
deceive the tape management system; something like EXPDT=99000.
I don't recall the details.  I might have needed VOL=REF,LABEL=(1,SL)
to get to the payload data sets.
