Positioning after header label 2

z/OS DFSMS Using Magnetic Tapes
SC23-6858-00

Unless user header labels are to be processed, the system positions the tape past the tape mark immediately after processing the HDR2 label. All labels that follow the HDR2 label are bypassed, and the tape is positioned at the first data set record.

Note: If the HDR2 label is missing, processing will continue with the assumption that it is not needed. If the JFCB/DCB merge function needs it because of missing data set characteristics, the OPEN will abnormally terminate.
