RENAMEU allows you to either swap the HLQ or specify the full alternative name. If I remember right, there is some rule about your replacement string being the same length as the original string, when you are trying to replace more than 1 qualifier with one or more qualifiers.. – Vignesh

RENAMEU will let you change the HLQ but will not let you change the number of qualifiers in the DSN. However, if you have a small number of HLQs to deal with, you could restore to a set of relate HLQs. For example, RENAMEU=((SYS1.**, ZSYS1.**),(TCPIP.**,ZTCPIP.**),...) Then you can list all
