Hi Ken, You can only reference a temporary data set once in a job step.
(Cue ranting from the Peanut Gallery about restrictive JCL designs from the 1960's. And for those of you not familiar with the term, Wikipedia says: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peanut_gallery .) You'll have to create another temporary PDS and IEBCOPY the first to the second.
