Try this
RENAME 'pds.name(oldname)' 'pds.name(newname)' ALIAS
The ALIAS option specifies that "newname" is to be an alias, rather than a replacement. |

wow what a quick change of mind...
sometimes the keyboard is faster than the brain :-)
but... beware
if i remember correctly for load modules the only way is
thru linkage_editor/binder |

You asked and You got reasonable replies
asking how to use a home-written tool well...
You should explain us too many things
it would be better to ask the person
who provided You with the tool |

ALXRPDSC is a freeware of SSC, INC., and is documented here (took me 10 seconds to find it using Google).

It would be a pleasure for us to see that a response is being read,
but, alas, this is not the case
I WARNED YOU ABOUT PROBLEMS WITH LOAD MODULES,
but You did not care
the idcams rename is not smart enough to carry in the directory
entry all the info for a load module |

No need to stop Your work,
using the alias facility for member names is something not
usually needed at the general level
and must/should be planned with system support |

Hi Shakila,
You will certainly find the alias technique useful
installing, or better upgrading program products,
Usually for PP, the convention is to put in the dataset names
a reference to, speaking in IBM terminology,
Version, Release, Modification-Level
for example for DB2 it would be something like "DSN610.SDSNEXIT"
Nobody would like to change the production Jcl to reflect a DB2
change to "DSN710.SDSNEXIT"
this is where the alias technique will help
You might define a standard of naming the libraries without the VRM reference
"DSN.SDSNEXIT"
at cutover from one version/release to the new one
a simple realiasing would make all Your job streams use the new environment |
