Hi all,
I have a tricky question.I have just come with a requirement
that i have to copy few members of a data set to another data set
if those member are there in a third dataset..
Now after copying i have to change the naming convention of the
member..
ex: like
GZSDATE should be changed to GZNDATE
mean third char S has to be replace with N for every member.Can i
do it by submitting a job or writing a cobol program.I have thousands
lots of member in the library to change.So maually its very mechanical
and tiring..
thanks in advance for your help..... |

Hello,
You need to post a complete set of "rules".
Please create an example list of the member names in the 3 partitioned datasets and describe how you want your process to work (including an external list of member names to process). The last part of the description will be the list of member names in all 3 datasets after your process is run.
Once the rules are understood, it will be possible to generate the needed jcl and control statements to do what you need. |

Hi,

Sure, you can.
Create a list of all of the members for some pds to be copied/renamed.
Read the list and generate the jcl to copy each member from the old pds(mbrname) to the new pds(mbrname) and submit the generated jcl thru the internal reader. Make sure to do less than 255 per job.
If you are not familiar with the internal reader, there are multiple topics in the forum. |

Hi,
You can also try IEHPROGM to rename the members. Do a 3.4 then SAVE the member list: SAVE any 1-8 pos name.
This creates a PS file w/a DSN in the form: yrTSOid.1-8pos.MEMBERS. It contains a copy of the display created by 3.4. Edit that file to conform to the RENAME stmt, and use an overlay move (M/OO-OO), then use the result as the SYSIN to IEHPROGM.
| Code: |
| RENAME VOL=disk=222222,DSNAME=yourDSN,NEWNAME= ,MEMBER= |
See the IBM Manuals section here (click manuals at top of this screen and look for IBM JCLUtilities Guide etc.) for details on IEHPROGM. |
