If the sets of old PS files name to be copied is present in one file. While anothe file contain the coressponding name of the new PS file. How can we copy all the file through the REXX program.

I assume that you have basic REXX knowledge.
So read both files containing the dataset names in two stem variables. Then loop through the elements and generate and issue the TSO command REPRO with the corresponding parameters. If the new dataset does not exist you have to generate first an ALLOCATE/FREE statement with the LIKE clause pointing to the old dataset. If the datasets are too big for online processing you should write out the REPRO statements to a separate dataset and process this file afterwards by an IDCAMS job.
Hope this helps.
