I'm not sure if you're aware of this, but JCL doesn't have the ability to pass control to previous statements in a single run.

You could either set up a proc.
Personally, I'd INCLUDE the step as many times as needed

Use an instream proc:
See the code below, it takes the backup of the dataset by replacing the NODE parameter

Code
  1. //BKUP    PROC

  2. //CPY     EXEC PGM=IEBCOPY,REGION=1024K                                  

  3. //SYSPRINT  DD SYSOUT=*                                                  

  4. //SYSOUT    DD SYSOUT=*                                                  

  5. //SYSUT1    DD DISP=SHR,DSN=ABC.TEST.&NODE                  

  6. //SYSUT2    DD DISP=SHR,DSN=ABC.BKUP.&NODE

  7. //SYSUT3    DD UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(CYL,(2,2))

  8. //SYSUT4    DD UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(CYL,(2,2))            

  9. //        PEND

  10. //*

  11. //        EXEC BKUP,NODE=AAA

  12. //        EXEC BKUP,NODE=...

  13. //        EXEC BKUP,NODE=ZZZ

Put the JCL to be called multiple times into the working storage section of COBOL program and submit this JCL from perform statement with until condition of COBOL program . Call this COBOL program from another JCL.
