Thanks John .  I am new to Rexx , but just wanted to know how in the below 
code, we make sure that only what is in my input file is read and renamed  and 
not all the datasets under the SLXR5V.SAPDB.* ?

/* REXX */
XX=OUTTRAP('DATA.','*')
LISTC LVL('SLXR5V.SAPDB​')
XX=OUTTRAP("OFF")
DO I=1 TO DATA.0
  LINE=DATA.I
  IF 'NONVSAM' <> WORD(LINE,1) THEN ITERATE /* ONLY WORKS FOR NON-VSAM */
  DSN=WORD(LINE,3) /* GET THE DSN */
  SUFFIX=SUBSTR(DSN,12) /* STRIP OFF THE FRONT */
  NEWDSN='SLXR5V.SAPDB.X'||SUFFIX
  "ALTER '"DSN"' NEWNAME('"NEWDSN"')"
END

Thanks
Ron T
