Hi,
I have 15 files in which there will be a word as 'D2011'.
How can i rename all of them once.
just like the option C ALL, do we have any solution for this.?
I have just had a thought of it. Don't know, if there is a solution.
Kindly let me know, if there is any way to do this.
Please provide me your suggestions. |

Hi There,
You can you IDCAMS ALTER command:
Code: |
//STEP01 EXEC PGM=IDCAMS
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSUDUMP DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
ALTER OLD.NAME -
NEWNAME(NEW.NAME) |
Write as many Alter statements as you need. All DS names would be changed at once. |

Dave - question is about changing the contents of a Data-set, it's not about changing (ALTER) the name of the DSN itself. That's why they say, terminology is important in IT.
sdaruna - I don't recall any of such command, which can be used on command line, after listing all those 15 DSNs in ISPF 3.4 . You might try with SORT FINDREP. To do that, concatnate all the DSNs to SORTIN and write as many output files as many you want. |

Hi All,
Sorry for the confusion. I am sorry for my bad communication skills.
Let me explain this with examples. Say i have four files (irrespective of PS or PDS)
1 - ABC.SRIN.X1
2 - ABC.SRIN.X2
3 - DEF.SRIN.X3. AND So on.
how can i rename the word SRIN to SRINU at one go..
Actually convention renaming will be ok. but if we have files in 100s and we might need to rename the month names some times..
Is there any better way to do this.?
Let me know, if if there are any confusions in my question. |

Unless I'm mistaken, TS has Data-sets which follow the naming-convention as:
ABC.SRIN.**
In all of them, at some position in their contents, there is "SRIN" and it should be changed to "SRINU" using some ISPF command. |

thanks &deity that' s his dilemma not ours
depending on the zOS level You might, repeat might, do it in one shot
otherwise You will have to write a <script> to do it ( REXX is the best option ) |

So, whats confusing in this now.?
I can give you one more example.
I have 100 files which will be ending with DEL90.
like,
A.B.DEL90
C.D.DEL90,
X.Y.Z.DEL90 etc.
As per the process, those files will not be available after 90 days(Say thats the sigificance of using DEL90).
I need those files for some more time. So i want to replace DEL90 with DEL120 in the names of the files. to make them alive for 120 days.
Assume that, DEL90 exists in the end of the file name only. |

renaming a dataset just because the expiration date changed calls for...
immediate termination or better extermination of You storage support group
ok the need to rename a dataset,
the reason You have given for the rename lowers dramatically the benevolence factor
and the willingness to provide help
sometimes to keep <Your> mouth shut is better
again read my previous reply ! |

But is this a dilemma, a predicament, a quandary, or a conundrum?
Isn't that what's really important? |

its learning purpose. the example on DEL90 is just for understanding purpose.
I was just thinking, why concentration shift towards these all.
Enrico, I understood what you mentioned
Can you provide me bit of clarification.? |

well the example was poorly chosen

Of course it all depends on the setup by the storage management team.
Renaming a dataset may or may not change the MGMTCLAS of the dataset, so spending all of this time finding out about something that may not work is a waste of everyones time.
Go talk to your storage management people and tell them what you want, and why you want it and see what they say.
If your storage people are any good they, like me, would liase with the security people to stop users from doing this another way. In cases where security would not help, I used to run anomolie reports and find out if people had been sneaky and just delete their datasets anyway |
