There are numerous threads in the archives of IBM-Main which discuss manipulation of linklist. The basic procedure is:
Define a new linklist set, copying the current one Add the new data set to the new linklist set Delete the old data set from the new linklist set Activate the new linklist set You should also consider significant over-allocation of space in your new data set so you don't run into this situation in the future.

I could update the LNKLST dynamically.However, that won't be useful unless it is backed by the same changes done statically (which will be taking effect during the next IPL ). The problem is ... the change management procedures come into the scene here and I failed to include the PARMLIB changes that should have been made for the new release. (Though , there are no new PARMLIB changes ). I have been playing on a test system till now . So, I could do just anything . Anyways, I'll be doing the renames during the change window only ,just before the IPL of the production system. So, I'm sure that will do the trick. I was curious to learn if the seniors on the list could advise of a good trick (if it exists ) that could work in a situation like this. I appreciate the response. Thanks to all who have responded to my queries. *********************************************************************** Bear Stearns is not responsible for any recommendation, solicitation, offer or agreement or any information about any transaction, customer account or account activity contained in this communication. *********************************************************************** ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
