Hi
I have around 200 members in a PDS and i have to change the member names to new member name.
Is there any way to automate this process.
i.e. is there is any ispf command or jobs to change the member names at one shot. |

Is there some sort of rule that needs to be followed for the new member names?
What I mean is, if you have generated the list of current member names, can you just read through the list and automatically run a TSO RENAME command for each member? |

Hi Superk,
Can you please share more info on TSO RENAME command? I tried in my shop and its wanting to specify the DS name. How to go about for renaming the members of the DS?
Kind regards,
Gowtham |

Hi Gowtham,
It will ask the DS name so you give the PDS name it will RENAME the PDS. Not all the members in the PDS.
I never tried to rename the member in the PDS through that command.
If superK give more info we can try |

Here's a quick little REXX exec that demonstrates what I'm talking about. It presumes that the PDS name is 'USERID.PDS', and that you want to rename each member with an 'at' sign (@) in front of the current name:
| Code: |
/* REXX */
thepds = SYSVAR(SYSUID)'.PDS'
Call Outtrap('l.')
"LISTDS '"thepds"' MEMBERS"
Call Outtrap('Off')
Do loop = 7 To l.0
oldmem = Strip(l.loop)
newmem = '@'oldmem
"RENAME '"thepds"("oldmem")' '"thepds"("newmem")'"
If rc = 0 Then Say oldmem newmem
End
|
Here's an equivelent exec using ISPF Library Management services:
| Code: |
/* REXX */
thepds = SYSVAR(SYSUID)'.PDS'
"ISPEXEC LMINIT DATAID(dataid) DATASET('"thepds"') ENQ(SHRW)"
"ISPEXEC LMOPEN DATAID("dataid") OPTION(OUTPUT)"
oldmem = ""
Do Forever
"ISPEXEC LMMLIST DATAID("dataid") OPTION(LIST) MEMBER(oldmem)"
If rc <> 0 Then Leave
newmem = '@'oldmem
"ISPEXEC LMMREN DATAID("dataid") MEMBER("oldmem")",
"NEWNAME("newmem") NOENQ"
Say oldmem newmem
End
"ISPEXEC LMCLOSE DATAID("dataid")"
Exit 0

| I don't understand your question at all, but if you could post some output from a run-time TRACE, that would be helpful. |

Hi Mano,
We can do mask renaming of the members in a PDS through FILE-AID.
The PDS Processing Options (PPO) screen lets you define a subset of members to be copied based on member name and can be used to specify member renaming for copied members.
START M;FA;3.3
> Give the FROM and TO PDS names. Then you will be navigated to the below screen,
| Code: |
File-AID ----------------- PDS Processing Options -----------------------------
COMMAND ===>
FROM Dataset: XXXXX.PDS.NAME
Copy entire member ===> Y (Y = Yes;
N = No, selected records only)
Copy empty members ===> N (Y = Yes; N = No)
Process in JCL format ===> N (Y = Yes; N = No)
TO Dataset: XXXXX.NEWPDS.NAME
Replace like-named members ===> Y (Y = Yes; N = No)
Rename copied members mask ===>
Specify Member Selection Options (Blank for All Members)
Member name mask ===>
Member name range ===> to ===>
Last modified userid ===> to ===>
Creation date ===> to ===> (YY/MM/DD)
Modification date ===> to ===> (YY/MM/DD)
Display member selection list ===> Y (Y = Yes; N = No)
Use ENTER to continue, END to return to copy utility screen |
Use the option Rename copied members mask ===>
for eg: Rename copied members mask ===> NEW?????
The question mark (?) in NEW????? in the “Rename copied members mask” field implies to keep original member name character.
Therefore a member AAA12345 will be renamed to NEW12345 in the new PDS created. AFter getting a fresh PDS with the new member names, you may delete the old PDS. |

IDCAMS ALTER is another option
//STEP1 EXEC PGM=IDCAMS
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
ALTER DATA.SET.NAME(MEMBER) -
NEWNAME(DATA.SET.NAME(NEWMEMBA) |
