*IF* all you are doing is copying from tape to disk there are many ways to do so without a CLIST (or REXX) . Using symbolics in JCL you pass the input dsn and the output dsn and include sort JCL with the sysin already in a member. You can do the rest with SMS and SDB. *IF* I am understanding your requirements.
