If the dataset is non-VSAM and the target catalog is the one that the new
DSN belongs in under normal catalog search rules, then renaming the dataset
using the TSO rename command handles the catalog details with no other
action required.
If you want the new DSN in a "non-normal" catalog and the dataset is both
non-VSAM and non-SMS, then using IDCAMS you can:
Uncatalog it with DEL NSCR
Rename it with ALTER NEWNAME FILE
Recatalog it with DEFINE NVSAM in any catalog you want.
If the dataset is VSAM, your best bet is to copy it (e.g., IDCAMS or
ADRDSSU) to the new DSN and then delete the old.
