Yes, that and TSO RENAME also works, but I think the OP is looking for something with wildcard capabilities. For example rather than code PROC1 PROC2 PROC3 and ignore TPROC1 APROC1 etc, the OP has coded
PROC PDS DDNAME=RENLIB01; CHANGE YYY:=XXX:; Which is SAS-speak for Change all PROCs that being with YYY to XXX and the trailing characters should be left as is. If you want to rename a member or members of the PDS, use the CHANGE statement. Specify the old name on the left side of the equal sign, and specify the new name on the right. Both of these tools require specific names.
