You might try Lionel B. Dyck's SDSFEXT, a generalized SDSF batch (or TSO) tool to extract a report into a dataset.

Available at his website http://www.lbdsoftware.com/ or at Cbttape's http://www.cbttape.org/[/quote]

You can write your file instead to a dataset (perm or temp) and refer to it in the latter step. Also include a new step to use IEBGENER (e.g.) to write the dataset to SYSOUT=* if you want it in report form also.
