I would assume that it's difficult or impossible with PDSE, but that there is
less need in PDSE2, due to generations.

bility. Without the expire hold, as soon as the tape
is scratch, the data is gone.

That will change it in the library. You will then need to bypass your tape

Assuming it hasn't been overwritten.

Since the tape is a scratch, the first thing to be done is to change it to
private, to avoid it being offered
to be rewritten.
I believe TS7700 does not allow a scratch tape to be open as input, so changing
it to private will also
allow you to read it.

Been a while since I had to do this, but can't you just BLP?

Yes. Just use a VOL=SER reference for the tape, and refer to the file by DSN.
