ITschak, I think that the DFDSS RENAME facility requires the same number of qualifiers for each data set name for the old and new names when using generic selection. It looks like you are attempting to add a qualifier. Suggest you try a test case with a qualifier replace, and try again with a qualifier add that is NOT a system symbol. The results should show you whether it should work.
