Copying Panvalet members to PDS

Hi,
I want to copy all the panvalet members to pds. I wrote a JCL but I am facing this problem.

Consider 2 members having member name as ABC12345 & ABC12345Z.. In this case second member is overwritten by first member while copying since the PDS member name can be maximum 8 characters.

Is there any way to solve this problem ?

There are more members having name as first 8 characters same. So I cant rename every member manually. I want output like ABC12345 & ABC1234(Any special character).

Thanks,
Logeshwaran K

The first step is to define a process where 10-character member names are converted to 8-character member names, including what happens if multiple long names would convert to the same short name.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply...

I want JCL to rename the 10-character member name to 8-character member name while copying... I should not rename the 10-character member name in Panvalet.

Thanks & Regards,
Logeshwaran K

Here is some skeleton JCL to give you an idea...
