Its been a while since the question was asked, but here is a definitive answer. Over z/OS R11, 12 and 13 new function was added in OPEN to improve recovery from incorrect multi-volume processing. RMM added support to exploit the new capabilities. OPTCODE=B is a user way to control what happens. A system level control is available with TAPE_MULTI_VOLUME_ANOMALY keyword.
More details are available for programming level control of EOV and abends in processing during EOV.
