To where and what type of dataset? 

If you want combine (not that many) the members into one big dataset or member, 
this should be easy. Just concatenate all the input members in one big SORTIN 
DD.

If you have say hundreds of such members, things can be trickier. 

Then you may need to write out a REXX or other language program to read the 
directory list, build a SORT job for the first member and submit it. Repeat 
with next member and re-submit with DISP=MOD for the output. This is needed 
because I believe there is a limit of concatenation in the JCL.

I think you should look again at Sri h Kolusu reply to you.
