I've never heard of this utility, much less used it before. However, upon looking up the appropriate syntax, it looks like this is required:

Hi PLFaBiaN5,

In your code I might be seeing two possible errors

1) You mentioned scratch statement as
SCRATCH DSNAME=WYL.NY.XDS.LIB,VOL=SYSDA,MEMBER=TEST1

The probleam might be here when u said VOL=SYSDA where in actually it might be UNIT=SYSDA. Try giving the VOL info here as below and check

SCRATCH DSNAME=WYL.NY.XDS.LIB,MEMBER=TEST1,VOL=SER=CNY001

This VOL info is from the job you posted.
This change should work

2) In the second statement, RENAME, u mentikned the below

RENAME DSNAME=WYL.NY.XDS.LIB,VOL=SYSDA,MEMBER=TEST2
MEMBER=TEST2,NEWNAME=TEST3

Here again try giving the VOL=SER=CNY001 instead of VOL=SYSDA. And u r repeating MEMBER=TEST2. Remove this second occurance and try running the code.
Probably it should go through fine

Thanks
Shiva

You can also use the RENAME command as below to rename the PDS member

RENAME 'MY.LIBRARY(MEM1)' 'MY.LIBRARY(MEM2)'

Thanks
Shiva

PLFaBiaN5,

The command line is to long, it needs to be broken into two lines.
