Go to IBM's web site, find the DFSMS Utilities manual, and read up on the IEBGENER utility program -- which can be used to copy a data set to print. There are other ways -- you really, really, really should contact your site support group FIRST to find out what the recommended method is at your site.

Arun: there are two ways to interpret your question. JCL provides a method to indicate a data set is to be printed by using the SYSOUT parameter in a DD statement. You use utility programs, such as IEBGENER as mentioned by Mr. Sample, to actually copy the data.
