Depending upon the generation's organization, use IEBGENER or IEBCOPY or SORT.

This is no different that doing a PDS member copy or sequential copy to a sequential file -- so why are you even posting the question?

The generation concept is a form of NAMING convention not DATA FORMAT.
The problem I have is that people can explain things quickly but I can only comprehend slowly.

//            DISP=SHR                         
//FILEB    DD DSN=GDS.REPORT.PS,               
//            DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),         
//            UNIT=(TEST,1),                   
//*           VOL=SER=???,                     
//            SPACE=(TRK,(15,30),RLSE),         
//            DCB=(RECFM=FB,LRECL=???,BLKSIZE=0)
//SYSIN   DD *                                 
   REPRO                         -             
      INFILE(FILEA)              -

Or you could use ICEGENER or IEBGENER or the COPY option of your sort product. IEB/ICEGENER are favourites as you do not need any control cards.
The problem I have is that people can explain things quickly but I can only comprehend slowly.

Perhaps IDCAMS LISTCAT, with the output going to a dataset not SYSOUT=? You can then format the output dataset to what you want.
