Rick:
When I first saw your suggestion I almost lost my lunch:(:
I guess you are serious.. I would never in 1000 years suggest IEHMOVE to anyone
(even an enemy).
My use of it dropped to zero back in the 1980's.
It has to be the worst "utility" that IBM ever came up with. AFAIK it still
suffers from the col 16 conyinuation and the column 72 issue and the most
obscure control cards that IBM has ever come up with, IMO.
Sorry to open my mouth but suggesting IEHMOVE is like suggesting a lollipop with
cyanide coating to a kid.

IIRC, IEHMOVE was a programming exercise for a IBM Assembler Language
Programming class. While it is, in many ways, unmitigated junk, it does
have the ability to copy more than one dataset in a single job step,
without a boatload of DD staements. From what I remember, it uses OPEN
TYPE-J to modify the DD statements supplied, with the possible exception
of volume parameters, in a way similar to DYNALLOC processing today. The
OP could probably also use REXX of CLIST exclusively to accomplish his
end result, I just thought I'd "gag a few maggots" by suggesting
IEHMOVE. :-)
