PDS MEMBERS EDIT AND RENAME

[APRASAD]

I have a pds containing jcls. All the jcls names end with a P. I am required to rename all the jcls and change the P to a T. Also, the jobname has to be changed to match the member name.
Any help in how this can be done will be highly appreciated.

As you can see I am pretty new to using rexx / ispexec etc.

Thank you

All of them?? Your best bet is to start with a memberlist (see

http://web.tampabay.rr.com/mvsrexx/REXX/members.txt)

and for each member exercise this little StarTool (PDS) command:

PDS <dsn> RENAME <oldname> <newname>

.

I actually have this in my ISPF command table, but there's no reason it can't be exercised from a REXX routine.

P.s.: Tek-Tips apparently blocks access to my website for reasons unknown; you'll have to cut-and-paste the URL above.

You could do it quite easily. In your main REXX you run LMMLIST with a PATTERN(*P) to get member names, then use LMMOVE to move it from *P to *T (if you know what I mean), then you EDIT the new member with a macro to change whatever fields you need.
