FRANK ! HEADER1 would do what I want, but the "header" may be up to 2,000
chars long. Is this possible with OUTFIL?
MIKE ! Your idea would work using intermediate files, but I would prefer
to do it in one execution. There will be hundreds of input ds going to
thousands of output, and resources are short.

Maybe I don't understand what you're trying to do, but if you just want to
add the same header at the top of each file, just have the REXX generate
an
OUTFIL HEADERx statement along with the OPTION and SORT statements:
OPTION NULLOUT=RC4
SORT FIELDS=COPY,STOPAFT=50000,SKIPREC=150000
OUTFIL REMOVECC,HEADER1=('THIS IS THE HEADER')
