//SYSUT2 DD DSN=FDWS01.TEST.RESTORE(+1),
// DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),
// UNIT=SYSDA,
// SPACE=(TRK,(20,10),RLSE),
// DCB=(MODEL.DCB,RECFM=FB,
// LRECL=80, BLKSIZE=800)
//*
//*
//STEP02 EXEC PGM=IEBGENER
//sysut1 DD DSN=FDWS01.SUB.RESTORE2,DISP=old
//SYSUT2 DD DSN=FDWS01.TEST.RESTORE(+2),

Simply you will copy all the 10 flat files into GDG base.
Then thry ISPF3.4 option menu you can see all the o/p of
