I have a question about tape labels.  On my DD for a tape, when I code the 
Label, I understand that the one parameter is the location/sequence on the 
tape...my question is do these have to be sequential?  I.e. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.  Can 
I instead use 1, 2, 3, 4, 20 and still have it be recognized?  Also, if there 
is an answer to this available in the manual could someone kindly point me to 
the right section of the right manual?


You already got proper answers, I try to summarize it using my poor English:

You don't need to read datasets from tape in sequence
You cannot read non-existing dataset. For example 8th dataset from tape containing 5 datasets. You can write N+1 dataset and repeat it as many times as you want. Everytime you just write one, N+1 dataset.
You cannot write N+2 or N+3 (or so) dataset.
You can or cannot (!) overwrite existing dataset.
When you overwrite last dataset, nothing special happens, it's typically allowed by your Tape Management System aka TMS (RMM, CA-1, Control-T). When you overwrite non-last dataset (you were allowed to do it), then all next datasets are lost.
