Someone has really dropped you in it here haven't they? I hope
you didn't smile an nod to this job before it landed on your desk.
Knowing next to nothing about IBM OS, I would suggest you arm yourself with documentation about.
Some things that will trip you up like variable block sizes/record lengths you have already discovered. Getting OT now but your question might have generated more responses if you explained a little more about the environment you are working on the tapes in.
Do you hate Talking to Magnetic Tapes too?
