The exit you're thinking of is the Open exit. When the unlike
concatenation flag is set, it will be entered for each DD.
Or the EOV exit for that matter.

Use the Language Environment routine to dynamically allocate the dataset
(member) and skip having to run TSO. Puts the program name you are
executing back in the JCL. Now if only DB2 would get smarter. Although, if you
work at, even your DB2 programs can be run from the EXEC PGM= JCL
statement.

OPEN-J (and its companion RDJFCB) are the simplest solution in my

I've done this buy using the 'OPTIONAL phrase on the file select in
Cobol, and then using TSO Allocate and Free commands from inside the
program itself.
The Program needs to Allocate, then OPEN, Read or Write, then Close,
then Free the file. This can be repeated in a single run of the program
