I believe that this message only applies to a dataset with a true alias. Seems like IDCAMS doesn't redrive the catalog to move the entry from one cat to another.
>From the IDCAMS book: If you are changing a high-level qualifier, NEWNAME acts differently, depending on whether the data set being renamed is SMS-managed or non-SMS-managed, and whether the data set has aliases or not. Table 4 shows how NEWNAME resolves under different conditions. Table 4. How NEWNAME Resolves When Change of Catalog is Required Data Set Type SMS Non-SMS VSAM ALTER unsuccessful-entry not renamed ALTER successful-entry remains in the source catalog non-VSAM with no aliases ALTER successful-entry is recataloged in target catalog. ALTER successful-entry remains in the source catalog If it were me, I would run DSS with: COPY DS(INC(dataset name to change)) - RENAMU(old dsn, new dsn) - DELETE - ALLDATA(*) - CATALOG - PURGE _________________________________________________________________ Dave Jousma Assistant Vice President, Mainframe Services [email protected] 1830 East Paris, Grand Rapids, MI 49546 MD RSCB1G p 616.653.8429 f 616.653.8497 -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of John P Kalinich Sent: Wednesday, June 10, 2009 8:43 AM To: [email protected] Subject: ALTER NEWNAME non-VSAM non-SMS When I rename a non-VSAM/non-SMS dataset to a new high level alias using ALTER NEWNAME, the result is the dataset is renamed in the VTOC correctly, but the wrong user catalog is updated with the new name.
