Hi,
I heared that it is possible to rename N members of a pds using FILEAID batch JCL.If any one knows the trick please send it will be more useful.
For Example 400 members in a pds should e renamed at one shot.

Hi Murali,

As per my knowledge
File-AID accepts only one NEWMEM parameter per DD statement.

So you have to give dd statements as many member you have to rename.

Hi Murali,

You are correct you can rename the members in a single shot

Try the below JCL

//COPY EXEC PGM=FILEAID
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=A
//SYSLIST DD SYSOUT=A
//DD01 DD DSN=xxxxx.CNTL,DISP=SHR
//DD01O DD DSN=xxxx.TEST.SORTOUT,DISP=(,CATLG,DELETE),
// UNIT=SYSD@,LABEL=RETPD=90,
// DCB=(BLKSIZE=58200,LRECL=300,RECFM=FB),
// SPACE=(58200,(14000,135,90),RLSE,,ROUND)
//SYSIN DD *
$$DD01 COPY NEWMEMS=GA----P
/*

Working for me....

Rename the member with the name starting grom GA and ending with P
