Rename a data set member

With ZOAU, you can rename the member ${prefix}.PROJ23.COBOL(PAYMENT) or move it to a new name in the following ways:

• Issuing a shell command:

  • Option 1:

  mmv "${prefix}.PROJ23.COBOL" PAYMENT PAYMENTS
  

  • Option 2:

  mvscmdauth --pgm=IEHPROGM --sysprint=dummy --dd=${vol},vol --sysin=stdin <<zz
   RENAME VOL=SYSALLDA=${vol},                                           +
                 NEWNAME=PAYMENTS,MEMBER=PAYMENT,                        +
                 DSNAME=${prefix}.PROJ23.COBOL
  zz
  

• Calling an API in Python programs:

  datasets.move_member("%s.PROJ23.COBOL" %
                     HLQ, "PAYMENT", "PAYMENTS")
  

Without ZOAU, to achieve the same purpose, you need to write the following JCL statements:

//*
//* Rename the PDSE member PAYMENT to PAYMENTS in 
//* PDSE @@HLQ@@.ZOASAMP.PROJ23.COBOL.
//* Note the volume that the PDSE resides on must be
//* specified in place of @@VOL@@
//*
//MMV     EXEC PGM=IEHPROGM
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*                                                  
//DD       DD DSN=@@HLQ@@.ZOASAMP.PROJ23.COBOL,                        +
//         UNIT=SYSALLDA,DISP=OLD,VOL=SER=@@VOL@@
//SYSIN DD *
 RENAME VOL=SYSALLDA=@@VOL@@,                                           +
               DSNAME=@@HLQ@@.ZOASAMP.PROJ23.COBOL,                    +
               NEWNAME=PAYMENTS,MEMBER=PAYMENT
