Hi there,

You can use sort for this.

Code:
//STEP001  EXEC PGM=SORT                                             
//SORTLIB  DD DSN=SYS1.SORTLIB,DISP=SHR                               
//SORTWK01 DD SPACE=(CYL,(100)),UNIT=DISK                             
//SYSIN    DD  *                                                     
   OPTION COPY                                                       
/*                                                                   
//SORTIN   DD  DSN=TBH2.DECE001.DATA(+0),DISP=SHR                     
//SORTOUT  DD  DSN=TBH2.SORTCHNG.SORTOUT.DATA,                       
//             UNIT=TAPE,SPACE=(TRK,(1,1),RLSE),DISP=(,CATLG,DELETE),
//             DCB=(LRECL=145,BLKSIZE=145,RECFM=FB)                   
//SYSOUT   DD SYSOUT=*                                               
//STATOUT DD SYSOUT=*                                                 
//SYSUDUMP DD SYSOUT=*                                               
//*                                                                   
//STEP002  EXEC PGM=SORT                                             
//SORTLIB  DD DSN=SYS1.SORTLIB,DISP=SHR                               
//SORTWK01 DD SPACE=(CYL,(100)),UNIT=DISK                             
//SYSIN    DD  *                                                     
   OPTION COPY                                                       
/*                                                                   
//SORTIN   DD  DSN=TBH2.SORTCHNG.SORTOUT.DATA,DISP=SHR               
//SORTOUT  DD  DSN=TBH2.SORTCHN1.SORTOUT.DATA,                       
//             UNIT=DISK,SPACE=(TRK,(1,1),RLSE),DISP=(,CATLG,DELETE),
//             DCB=(LRECL=145,BLKSIZE=145,RECFM=FB)                   
//SYSOUT   DD SYSOUT=*                                               
//STATOUT DD SYSOUT=*                                                 
//SYSUDUMP DD SYSOUT=*                                               
//*

Here STEP001 will copy the latest version to tape dataset & STEP002 will copy tape dataset to disk dataset
Hope it will helpful

DCB=(LRECL=145,BLKSIZE=145,RECFM=FB)
As a storage admin, I'd shoot you for coding BLKSIZE=145....

With BLKSIZE=145 you will only get 72 records per track.
By using BLKSIZE=0, you will get 386 records per track.
(assuming 3390).

Similar wastage is experienced on tapes as well

Also CPU utilisation and runtime will be inceased as well.
