OUTPUT statement and dynamic allocation of output data sets

The OUTPUT statement is a utility-control-statement that you enter after the //SYSIN DD * JCL statement in the SYSIN statement.

The OUTPUT command must precede a statement that refers to it. All statements in the SYSIN data set are processed sequentially, so a new output descriptor named in an OUTPUT statement is available only for statements that follow it. You can use more than one OUTPUT statement in a SYSIN data set, but each output descriptor must have a different name. You must allocate the tape drive if required.

Information
Example
OUTPUT copy01 UNIT <unitName> DSNAME <copyDSName>
OUTPUT copy02 UNIT <unitName>...
REORG TABLESPACE <tsName> COPYDDN(copy01,copy02)
