JZOS would allow you to use BPAM via ZFile to do IO to PDS members, but these won't generally work for program objects (load modules).

But you can use the z/OS UNIX "cp -X src target" shell command to do this. (See the man page for cp on how to use PDS data sets).
You can run a UNIX command from JZOS (or any Java app) using the Runtime.exec() method. JZOS has a com.ibm.jzos.Exec wrapper for Runtime.exec() that simplifies its usage that you may want to look at.
