Dump Tape and File Labels

Use the following sample JCL to dump the tape file labels before and after the data file. This technique uses Bypass Label Processing (BLP) which requires additional security permissions to use. The first step dumps the volume, file headers, and User Header Labels. The second step dumps the data file. The third step dumps the End of Volume, End of File, and User Trailer Labels that follow the data file. The data set names do not need to be changed because of BLP processing.
