No, I don't believe either is possible.

Scott,

Is it possible that in the interim since you did the last process either
PROTECTALL was activated for the first time or a prior profile (e.g.
PAGE.**) existed that was deleted?

I understand all that, yet the fact remains that this process worked before,
when there was no PAGE.** profile defined.  I guess this is not a big deal
now, I was just trying to understand what had changed.

Also, check the SETROPTS for the PROTECTALL option.  If you had a PAGE.* 
profile, which only covered the 2nd level, the PAGE.A.another_level is NOT 
protected, and RACF (actually DFSMS) would fail any access to the dataset.  
When you created PAGE.**, you then covered any number of levels after 
PAGE., and RACF/DFSMS would then allow access.

And, as previously stated (I think), when you rename a RACF protected 
dataset, the dataset name that it is renamed to must also be protected.  
(Level of protection doesn't really matter ... just covered by a profile.)
