Support larger tape ranges in the Selective Device Access Control tape range table

The SDAC tape range table supports 50 entries total.  A range of A00000-A99999 covers 100K tape volumes.  My client uses letters in the second position of the tape volser (A-Z).  I have to enter a range such as AA0000-AA9999 (covers 10K tape volumes).  I have to enter a total of 27 entries to do the entire A?xxxx range of tapes (?=0-9, A-Z).  I require more than 50 volume ranges to manage all of my tapes.  Please consider coding a method to define a tape range that supports any letter in the second position of the tape volser.  I would then be able to define one range and cover all ranges with a letter as the second character.
