I have a process which determines the VOLSERs belong to a file and then 
dynamically allocates each tape individually to determine exactly what data is 
on each of the individual VOLSERs. Our system programers implemented a change 
last year which caused z/OS (2.01) to add the missing VOLSERs to the DD when 
EOV is reached. Therefore eliminating the possibility of just opening a single 
volume and reading it until EOF is reached. It now 'fixes' my 'error' and 
forces me to read all of the volumes at once.

Is there a way I can detect when EOV is reached and the tape is changed? I want 
to force the EOV to work like an EOF.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Chris.
