We actually wanted the opposite - tapes shared between machines, all attaches under control of one central program, and since detaching an assigned drive forces a RUN, we wanted no ASSIGN at all. I implemented this via CP Exit FFB, which altered the ATTACH to include NOASSIGN on the command,

moving members to a z/OS system

FTP will do it for you; the MPUT subcommand will let you send any number of files. You could specify the target directory as the z/OS PDS, and then use MPUT to send everything at once. I'd try that first; it works when the client is Unix or a PC, although those clients usually have some kind of
