Brian,
I don't remember having any problem with DDR abending, I ran this on z/VM 4.3 and z/VM 5.1.
In my case after I (prop) detached the tape I (prop) attached it to an 'automated tape manager' that recorded the tape then unloaded it and mounted a new tape and then I (prop) attached the drive back to 'DDR'. I believe DDR saw the new tape and continued the dump without any problem.
I am still looking for the exec but I was at a different company when I wrote it, I think they still use it, I just need to find someone there that will re-share it with me.
Tom

I was able to do a HALT, DETACH the drive from the user running DDR, and
ATTACH it to a different user. However, when I ATTACH it back to the DDR
user DDR gets an operation exception. Did you encounter that?
