I've got some old code here that is doing a strange
thing trying to rename a non-VSAM file.
After invoking the DFSMS RENAME service; which
has met with success (return-code is 0) to rename
a file in the VTOC from the "old" name to the "new"name;
it then goes on to un-CATALOG the "old" name.
What is surprising is that the un-CATALOG mysteriously
succeeds... but only sometimes.
Trying to track down two questions with this:
1) Is the un-CATALOG of the "old" name (which presumbly
is no longer there since RENAME has succeeded) necessary?
2) Why would this un-CATALOG succeed if the RENAME
has worked? Shouldn't it always fail??? (Presumably
with a return-code of 8?)
