Ulrich, The short answer to your question is: No.
As documented in the fine manual: The SYSTSIN and SYSTSPRT DD statements can refer to a sequential data set or a member of a partitioned data set. It is recommended that the SYSTSIN DD be defined as a fixed block format data set, with an LRECL of 80. If SYSTSIN is a fixed length data set (FB), the last 8 bytes of the record will be treated as a sequence number and ignored. If SYSTSIN is a fixed length data set with ASA control characters (FBA), the first byte of the record will be treated as a carriage control character and ignored. If SYSTSIN is a variable length data set (VB), the first 8 bytes of the record will be treated as a sequence number and ignored. If SYSTSIN is a variable length data set with ASA control characters (VBA), the first 9 bytes of the record will be treated as a sequence number, followed by a carriage control character and ignored. You cannot refer to concatenated data sets on the SYSTSIN DD statement. Each command or subcommand must begin on a separate statement. The fine manual being, in this case, TSO/E User's Guide Chapter 16, the section heading is "Submitting Jobs in TSO Batch", subsection "Writing JCL for Command Execution" subheading "SYSTSIN DD Statement".
