That's a bit vague. Do you have some sort of "pattern" or algorithm you're
using to convert the old DSN to a new DSN? I don't know of any standard
IBM utility which would do a "wildcard" rename. I often use a language such
as REXX or AWK to generate IDCAMS control cards, then run a batch job with
them. I do the "wild card" either by doing an IDCAMS LISTCAT (such as LISTC
LVL('SYS1.LIH1') and then process that output in my REXX program).
