In the OPEN exit for a tape data set, is there any way to tell if the
request was for a scratch tape or a specified volume?
Since no one else replied, I take a crack at it.
I don't think so. I don't know if you mean the DCB open exit or the
system-wide open exit, but in either I don't see any obvious way to tell.
Before OPEN, if you do a RDJFCB on the DCB, you can check if a volser is
filled on. If it is a scratch, it will usually be binary zeros.
