Elegant and robust way to force volume change after multiple jobs?

Hi all,

I have a set of related Jobs (multiple clients + always a single Catalog) that 
are scheduled together and always run in sequence. I would like to force each 
of these related job sequences to be written to its own tape volume.

Currently, I achieve this by setting the MaxVolumeJobs for each tape in that 
pool to the exact number of jobs for each of these runs. Afterward, that 
volume is marked full and the next job sequence is written to a different 
tape. That has served me well thus far.

However, recently, I see greater fluctuations in our number of clients (and 
their associated jobs). Thus, my initial approach has become unwieldy, as I 
would need to manually update MaxVolumeJobs every time the number of clients 
changes.

Is there a better way to achieve my goal that can deal more robustly with 
varying numbers of clients? Something like UseVolumeOnce, but not applying to 
individual jobs but only after the Catalog job is complete ... ?

Many thanks,
   Andreas
