Can your program write simultaneously to 2 different files?

If you want to update the two member one after anoter, within the same program, you can:
1. Allocate each member to a different file, and process them one after another.
2. Use ISPF services like LMMPUT, LMMGET etc.
3. Convert your program to an Edit-Macro.
4. Use tools/utilities from within COBOL.
