Is there an /assumption/ that doing so "in stream" is not possible _during_ the save, or was that established empirically? Given that a save\restore request via virtual tape may fail per the "virtual volume stream file was removed while in use" [as a possible origin for error message CPF4371], I infer the stream file can be accessed concurrent to the save operation. Thus presumably, enabling a similar capability as the Save-to-Application API that is able to process blocks of save file record-data concurrent to the save; i.e enabling reading blocks of stream file save image-data concurrent to the save.?

Yes easy to do after the save. I want to encrypt and move the save
data in stream.

Given the data for "virtual tape images are stored in stream files
on your system disk units", what about open() and read() to access
that data?
