John, As R.S. already has said, Z/OS 1.8 offers some alternatives from the traditional RACF tape data set protection. That is worth a look for those wanting to use just DATASET profiles. You can also get BLP authorization included even though TAPEVOL is not ACTIVE. Mike WoodRMM Dev

Here's what I received from the security group regarding BLP. If your system supports BLP processing, RACF provides installations with the ability to control the use of the BLP option on JCL DD statements. To control who can use BLP, take the following steps: 1. Activate the TAPEVOL class.
