An exception to the order of processing is when doing recalls from tape, where DFSMShsm reduces the number of mounts by doing several recalls from a given tape while the tape is continuously mounted. If a recall task has just completed a recall from a tape, it processes the highest-priority request that is currently on the queue for that same tape, no matter where the request is positioned on the queue.
Assuming that it has multiple recalls with the same priority on the tape is it smart enough to do them in the order that they are on the tape (ie: File Number Order) thus reading the tape sequentially or does it go with their order on the queue (ie: In essence random) thus seeking back and forth on the tape?
