Hi David, I think the issue is that James wants to move these datasets and prepend a new HLQ onto each of them without the need to rename each dataset individually. Unfortunately DFDSS doesn't provide that as an option. I've occasionally wished for the same function, something akin to
COPY DS(INC(HLQ.**)) RENUNC(**,NEWHLQ.**) But alas, DFDSS limits me to renaming each dataset individually if I'm changing the number of qualifiers.

Hi James, You can use DFSMSdss to COPY with RENAME. Here is an example: //STEP001 EXEC PGM=ADRDSSU ,PARM='TYPRUN=NORUN' //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* //SYSIN DD * COPY DS( - INCL( - HLQ.X - ) - ) - RENUNC( - (HLQ.X - NEWHLQ.HLQ.X) - ) - CAT - STORCLAS(STANDARD) - OPT(4) - SHR - SPHERE - TOL(ENQF) - You can only COPY 255 Datasets in one step. I have a series of ISPF Edit tricks to generate the commands and interleave them.
