Use the normal services (SWAREQ, RDJFCB, etc.) to get the DSNAMES/VOLSERs of
the STEPLIB libraries, and then
CSVAPF REQUEST=QUERY
on each one.
The DEB applies to the entire DD statement.

Should you use the mailblocks package and expect a response from me,
you should preauthorize the dissensoftware.com domain.
I very rarely bother responding to challenge/response systems,
especially those from irresponsible companies.
