There are a couple of ways.  From your "non-SMS" comment, I suspect you are
working in MVS.  There is a non-production solution called XTENDLIB, which
roughly allows you to catalog several separate OS datasets and tell SAS to
treat them as a single library.  There is another solution based on
allocating entire disk volumes.  My notes are neither complete nor current,
as we run SMS and face a completely different set of problems in spanning
volumes.
 
See the MVS Companion, check the SI web site, or call SI for advice.
