A LUW thing. I don't think that it is relevant to mainframes.
2. Copy particular records from multiple datasets to one o/p dataset.

Same way(s) as you'd copy particular records from one input data set (remember that concatenated data sets are logically a single data set).
3. How to send data from JCL to COBOL/DB2 ? am not asking jcl to normal cobol it is db2/cobol.

The same way(s) as for a COBOL program (or one written in any other language) that does not use DB2 (I suppose that we could consider a program invoked by the RUN command of background TSO to be significantly different, but I'd just encapsulate it in a teeny bit of Rexx so that looked the same).
