1) One would assume you'll be prompted for a fresh tape - Is this really an issue given current tape drive capacities?
2) Try CHKTAP ENDOPT(*REWIND) or *UNLOAD as you prefer

Cycle through the file, and for each library you hit, use the *LEAVE parm to
stop the tape while you read the next record.

Excellent idea, particularly combined with the idea of using an output
file from the SAVCHGOBJ itself, but it raises a couple of questions:

1. What happens if I hit the end of a tape volume while doing a bunch of
SAVLIBs to pick up what SAVCHGOBJ missed?

2. If I do use *LEAVE, to speed things up, I'm not going to know, at any
given time, whether I'm at the last SAVxxx command. What's the easiest
way to rewind the tape at the end of this whole process?
