Shutdown JES2, then run a batch job to do the rename. Wait... you can't run a batch job, JES2 is down! >Just curious: can the PROCLIB concatenation contain PDSEs? Yes. That eliminates the COMPRESS issue or the problem you might run into if the library takes an additional extent. The second problem was fixed about 15 years ago in MVS/ESA V4. JES2 recognizes this condition via I/O error and then will close and reopen the DD for all converter tasks. Actually, knowing this works makes me think that the "trick" mentioned an an earlier post (running jobs that point to a nonexistent or another PROCxx DD) could work to fix the problem without having to bounce JES2. But I don't know if there is some extra code in the fix from 15 years ago that handles that situation differently.
