My practice is 1) to generate the output I need using PUNCH and REPRO (for
invariant text) and 2) direct SYSPUNCH output to the internal reader.

This scheme requires that this SYSPUNCH output include the appropriate JCL, as
is always the case with output directed to the internal reader.

I worked out the details long ago when I needed a scheme that would be usable
under both MVS and DOS/VS, and it still works well under z/OS and VSE.
