Renaming A Data Set
The
RENAME
command
allows
you
to:
•
Change
the
name
of
a
data
set.
•
Change
the
name
of
a member
of
a
partitioned
data
set.
•
Assign
an
alias
to
a member
of
a
partitioned
data
set.
If
your
LOGON
user
identification
is
SMITH
and
you
have
a
data
set
named SMITH.
RECPT.
DATA
and
you
want
to
change
it
to
SMITH.
ACCT.
DATA.,
you
can
do
so
with
any
of
the
following
RENAME
commands:
rename
'smith.recpt.data
'
•
smith.acct.
data
,
rename
recpt.data
acct.data
rename
recpt
acct
Note
that
the
fully
qualified
name
must
be
enclosed
in
apostrophes.
The
simple
user-supplied
name
can
be
used
if
you
have
only
one
data
set
with
that
name. However,
if
you
have
two
data
sets
named
SMITH.RECPT.DATA
and
SMITH.RECPT.TEXT.
you
must
specify
either
RECPT.DATA
or
'SMITH.RECPT.DATA'
in
the
RENAME
subcommand.
If
you
do
not
specify
the
descriptive
qualifier,
the
system
will
prompt
you
for
it
.•
The
following
examples
show how
you
can
use
RENAME
to
change
the
identification
qualifier
or
the
descriptive
qualifier.

more
than
one
qualifier.

When
changing
the
name

of
a
partitioned
data
set,
you
must

the
existing
data
set

new
member
name.

the
ALIAS
operand

indicate
that

to
member
INPUT

command
the
name
of
the
member
is
either

or
SMITH.AB79.DATA(DAILY).

may
have
two
or
more
data
set
names
that
are
identical
in
all
but
one
of
their
qualifiers.
For

you
may
have
these
data
sets:
or
