The last time I had a similar need I set up 2 userids.  One did the
actual running of DSF and the other was a secuser of the first and had an
exec that read a list of DASD addresses, attached one to the DSF machine
then started a wakeup driven script to watch for the various prompts and
reply to them.  At the end of job, the wakeup script exited and the main
script detached the disk, attached the next one and back to wakeup.

Sorry that I don't have the execs available, this was several jobs ago.
