I don't understand, if you can rename the dataset in a second step, why you can't browse it after the first step. I just ran a test and created a dsn, with catalog as the disposition, and a second 'wait' step. I could read and delete the dsn from the first step while the job was in the 'wait' second step.
Huh? How could this be? You sound like you're running the first and second steps at the same time. Something's wacky here.
