You could use the TFRCTL command at the end of your pgm to transfer
control
to another iteration of the same program passing it parameters for which
library you want to process and also remember you have to control when
you
want the program to end(i.e. bypass the TFRCTL command).

This will allow creation of a new ODP for the file you are reading.

Hope this helps!!
