Hi,

Is there a way using which I can rename some or all of the members of a PDS using REXX? I could not find a way of doing this.

Thanks for any guidance on this.

When you mean rename how do you want to rename the members to?

member1 should be renamed to member2... I'm not sure if I got you?

Hi Pragya,

I mean to ask like how do you know the new member names?

Is there a place which stores the member names ?

here in your example when you mean member1 to member2 does that mean all 1 should be converted to 2?

I did it manually back than but will be intrested to know if there is way to do it.

My old memeber name is say, PGMMEM1 and the new membe rname would be PRGMMEM1. In short, for all members we can replace PGM* with PRGM*.

So in the last 6 months which manuals have you researched in order to try and find a solution?

I could not find a direct funtion or a way in REXX but TSO command RENAME was close. However I did not use it as it was one time requirement and I did it with Filie-Aid and manually for the smaller PDSes.

the smarter way would be to use ISPF library management services ( LMMREN )
