TSO ALTER ... I believe is the command you want.

Hi,
you have to manually edit the RETPD specified in the LABEL
parameter of the particular dataset.

RETPD: DDD

TSO ALTER will do this. but in batch IDCAMS and SYSIN DD *
i think we can write the code like this

ALTER PDS whater ever parameter you want 2 modify it specify in SYSIN DD *
