Univeral Command in DataStage stage

I'm trying to import using Universal Command MVS flat files by using Data Stage 7.5. I'm not sure which stage to use for this so I can put the UC JCL script in it. Is this possible? I have imported the Cobol copybooks but I'm trying to bring the MVS files in & load them as Complex flat files into Sequential flat files.
If you have an example of a DS job doing this, please send it to me.
Thanks,
Judy

You shouldn't mix JCL with data. You can do this outside of DataStage (perhaps using type or copy command). But DataStage will object to the "rows" of JCL because they don't match the metadata that describe the data you are otherwise processing.
