Sounds like my crew ... They have some REXX that generates image-copy (???) JCL - they were forever finding problems with why the resultant JCL wouldn't work; - too many steps - too many DD cards - too many units (as in 25 for each of the too many DD cards above) - TMM was also partly to blame for this. They now have checks to kick out a jobcard at (semi-)reasonable points in the process. And of course they wanted 20 of everything; and run every night ... but I digress. Maybe the DBA in question wants to do something similar, but setup each step as a separate job - the question becomes a little more sensible in such a case.
