Please find my requirement as follows:
1. A file name(File01) will be written to a Dataset(PS file FileA) in STEP01 of the job. This File name has a sequence number (as a part of its qualifier) which is generated dynamically.
2. In STEP02 of the job we need to copy the records from a different file say File02 to File01.
a. How to read the file name from the PS file FileA (which is created in STEP01)
b.How to use the same file name in STEP02 for copying records from File02? |

It's quite unclear what you are asking.

By "file name" are you referring to the contents of "PS file FileA" or to . . .

As have been stated many times earlier-- JCL itself will do nothing, you need to direct some program or utility to do that.

Just provide the correct DSN in step02... |

| How is the dataset created in STEP01, dynamically by the program or via the JCL statements |

Explanation of the requirement:
1. Content of a dataset F0123QGH.TSBXXXX.DSN01(MEM01) is
F0123QGH.TSBXXXX.SEQ001 (in STEP01). When the job runs next time the "SEQ001" would be changed to "SEQ002" and so on.
2. In STEP02, we need to copy the records from an Input file F0123QGH.TSBXXXX.FILEA to the F0123QGH.TSBXXXX.SEQ001.
Here my question is, how to get the sequence file name (in STEP01) and use it in STEP02?
Please let me know if I'm still unclear. |

| There is a program which updates the File F0123QGH.TSBXXXX.DSN01(MEM01) with the sequence file name F0123QGH.TSBXXXX.SEQ00*. |

As previously requested, how is the dataset created in STEP01
Is it via JCL statements or dynamically by the program. |

Yes, I did happen to understand that 
Now, you say that STEP01 creates the dataset which is given in the PDS member. Please explain to me in great detail what happens. Does the program executed in STEP01 read the PDS member and dynamically create the dataset named in the PDS, or does the dataset mentioned in the PDS appear in a JCL DD statement to create the dataset.
The best solution would be that the PDS member is created as
| Code: |
| // SET DSNAME=dataset.name |
and then it could be included into the JCL - see example below
| Code: |
// JCLLIB ORDER=(PDS name)
//*
//DSNAME INCLUDE MEMBER=Member name
//*
//STEP01 EXEC PGM=whatever
//DDNAME DD DSN=&DSNAME,DISP=....
//*
//STEP02 EXEC PGM=whatever
//DDNAME DD DSN=&DSNAME,DISP=....

Hi,
Please see in the below step the SEQP is the DDname of the Sequence file to the PGM01
//STEP01 EXEC PGM=PGM01
//SEQP DD DSN=F012QGH.MOSDAILY.SEQUENCE,DISP=SHR,
// AMP='BUFND=30,BUFNI=15'
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=A
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=A
//SYSUDUMP DD SYSOUT=A
The Sequence file F012QGH.MOSDAILY.SEQUENCE will have a file name in turn, which we should read and use it in the next step to copy the records from the file say, File01 of STEP02 to the file name say File02 in F012QGH.MOSDAILY.SEQUENCE. |

| Just a suggestion, but, why not use a GDG and have done with all of this farting about. |

| Actually as per our current requirement we just need to include the repro step alone. So I don't know how to go about it. |

The REPRO JCL is pretty simple using a GDG as output
| Code: |
//STEPnnnn EXEC PGM=IDCAMS
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//OUTFILE DD DSN=GDG.base.name(+1),DISP=.......
//SYSIN DD *
REPRO IDS(input dataset name) OFILE(OUTFILE)
