I have a process which determines the VOLSERs belong to a file and then

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.

If this is assembly language, I'd look at an EOV exit on the DCB.
