Another. I think this is out of the "boiling the ocean" category.
o Automatic generation of position numbers for multi-file tapes. Something like:
LABEL=(1+*.stepname.ddname,SL),...
or even:
VOL=REF=*.stepname.ddname,LABEL=(NEXT,SL),...
where the position will be 1 greater than that in the most recent
step mentioning the volume, regardless that the referenced stepname
is not the most recent.
(Assuming that no intervening steps are flushed by COND or IF.
accommodating flushed steps is "boiling the ocean".)
