Copy it to disk. I think that is the only way. Generally Browse works with with DASD. I do not know of any browse utility that can handle a tape. If you think about it you will know why. On the other hand, someone may know of such a beast.

If you want to write your own I/O routines, you can use ISPF's BRIF service to browse anything, as long as you can position the data window dynamically. Left as an exercise for the reader Mr. Green

Also your TSO session must be authorised for online tape usage
