Hi Friends,

It is possible to rename a KSDS using JCL,
Use IDCAMS with ALTER option to Rename it.

It can also be renamed using
1. File-Aid
2. Startool

Thanks And Regards

hi friends,
It is possible to rename using jcl thru IDCAMS.
The syntax command shoud be written to input stream of IDCAMS is

SYSIN DD *
ALTER <clustername>
NEWNAME (<changed name of cluster>
/*

Maybe that's why nobody suggested you use it.
