If the renaming is sporadic but you have a list of old-name new-name pairs, use a script to convert that to IDCAMS SYSIN. If you haven't this information in any form, you're SoL. If there is overlap of the new-names with the old-names, rename each data set twice, first old-name -> neutral name, then neutral-name -> new name. Have at least two people review the IDCAMS SYSIN before you submit the job. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
