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.
