So what is the issue here, rename it. If you are not happy with doing this with production datasets, set up some test GDS and rename them as a trial before going for it on production.
When talking about GDS it is important to use the correct terminology, as both version and generation are both valid in terms of a GDS.
It is a well known fact that only one version of a GDS may exist at any one time, however, multiple generations may exist together.
Please learn and use the correct terminology when posting, as using the wrong term can cause confusion and possibly delay a resolution to your problem |

Hi if it is production dataset and you dont have access to rename .. ask your support people ... else you can easily rename with 'r' option against the dataset name ..
Hope this helps !!! |

Or use IDCAMS ALTER in a batch job.

Hello,
If the GDG has 10 generations, is your requirement to rename each generation based on the GDS creation date? Would n't that be a 'COPY ' instead of 'RENAME'?
Am I missing something here?  |
