IEFBR14 with 70 DD statements?
DF/DSS COPY command?
Since you don't specify whether you're doing a copy of 70 existing data sets or creating 70 new data sets, we can't provide much assistance. |

| If you don't know how to write the JCL, then you don't need to be attempting to do this task. Execute IEFBR14, then give the definitions for each of your PDS files, one definition per DD statement, with DISP=(MOD,CATLG,DELETE) . The JCL Language Reference manual (link at the top of the page) gives you all the specifics of how to write JCL. |

you are shooting without any aim which will give you a definite faliure.
/Phiosphy off
Everything is given to you by Robert unless you have something else in mind, just go ahead and write a JCL using the suggestion. If that does not work well, tell us, some one will be around. |

Hello,

Suggest you create one and make sure it works as you want it to.
You might want to consider PDSE rather than PDS.
Once you have one working correctly, clone that jcl lots of times (maybe 69) for the remaining requirement. |
