It should be an ASSEMBLER programming technique, where the

Is it possible to restore a multi-voulme GDG from Virtual Tape. It was a
47-volume (Mod-9) dataset, an SMF Dump, and we are trying to restore it.
We've tried quite a bit of different ADRDSSU code with no luck.

How it was dumped?
It looks like several unrelated dump datasets, each containing part of
your SMF archive. It doesn't make sense.
More, it seems you tape volumes (virtual= relatively small) are
muti-file volumes. So you use part of small tape volume, but you use

There is a large legal literature of omisses, instances of omissis.
The upshot is that failing to do something that is positively required

not.

In a perfect universe, a stub would be needless.
It would really help if you could post the listing of the job that dumped
the dataset. Barring that, we need to see the JCL for the dump job.

It depends on your definition of wasted - both libraries use 80 byte
