Pipelines can do most of the things you want.
 a) fast read on RDR
 b) deblocking of NETDATA and extracting the TEXTUNITs of netdata files
 c) output to tape or uro device
 d) writing of SL tapes

It's not a five minute task to code it - and especially if you want to make it
watertight  - but  it's  possible and  quite  simple and  once  it works  sure
something you'll be happy with ;-).
I've succesfully created multivolume tapes with QSAM, the only problem is that
the standard CMS  exit DMSTVI doesn't support volume switch  and you'd have to
find a  replacement (no  problem if  you're using  System Center's  VMTAPE for
example).
Drop me a note if you want to try pipes and need assistance.
