I'd like to add: If your source library is a PDS with RECFM=FB
LRECL=80 BLKSIZE=3120 then you can add all (sample-)JCL, 
a $README and all other 'data' which isn't FB-80 format to it.
Otherwise create a new 'RON.GAME.DATA' FB/80/3120 PDS
and add all else to it as if it where 'source code'. Lastly you XMIT 
or IEBCOPY-Unload just that one PDS containing card-image, 
load modules and all other 'data' which isn't FB-80.

The trick is to IEBCOPY-Unload or XMIT the LOADLIB directly 
into your 'RON.GAME.DATA' distribution library / PDS, e.g. have 
IEBCOPY or XMIT write the unloaded LOADLIB to:
//OUT DD DSN=RON.GAME.DATA(#LOADLI B),DISP=OLD

I did this about a year ago on a client's z/OS 1.9 system and believe
I did the same a very long time ago on some earlier MVS.
