So you actually have a good business case! I posted the question because I was asked by an off shore person. To them it seemed logical that there should be a *standard* utility to do this and I can see why they think that. I've never really thought about it but after I was asked I could think of many times it would have come in handy. At my current shop, and some others I have been at, changes that go in during a maintenance window are preferred to have batch jobs pre-staged. So instead of step 10 in the implementation plan being "use ISPF to copy / move / rename PDS members from a to b" it should be in a batch job. It ends up being quicker and less error prone.
