If you're okay with writing a small REXX script to describe what you want
renamed, you can use SimpList to apply the script to every member in a PDS.
Here's an example that's straight from the SimpList user guide:
/* REXX to rename all members from 'xx08xxxx' to 'xx09xxxx' */
arg input
parse var input dsn "(" memb ")" .
if substr(memb,3,2) = "08" then do
slusrcmd = "R"
slusrdat = overlay(09,memb,3)
address ispexec "VPUT (SLUSRCMD SLUSRDAT) SHARED"
end
SLUSRCMD tells SimpList what function to reselect the member with after the
REXX script has finished (in this case "R" for "Rename"), and SLUSRDAT tells
SimpList what to rename the member to.
To apply this script to every member in a PDS you'd simply enter '1 *' on the
member list command line. If necessary you could filter the member list before
applying the script; e.g. you could include or exclude members based on their
names, contents, ISPF statistics (etc). For example, if I wanted to exclude
every member that contained the word IDENTIFICATION before doing the rename,
I'd enter 'HIDE IDENTIFICATION ALL' and then enter '1 *'.
SimpList isn't free but at $5,000 a year (for unlimited use by unlimited
people) I'm sure it's a lot less than what you're currently paying for SAS? If
you only need to do the renames one time you could even take SimpList for a
free trial, do the renames, and hand it back.
