 Posted: Thu Jan 19, 2006 3:18 pm Post subject: Rename members of PDS with search criteria |
 |
|
Hi,
I have 100 members in a PDS. I want to replace the first two characters of member names, whose names meet a specific criteria. For eg: all the memebrs whose name is starting with TU needs to be changed to PR. Is there a way to tackle this?
Cheers! |

hi Info Seeker
The first part is easy, determine which members meet your criteria, this rexx should work or at least give you the starting point to do it:
| Code: |
/*Rexx*/
...
/*place your dsn in the DSN Var*/
x = Outtrap('Mem.')
"LISTD '"Dsn"' MEMBERS"
x = Outtrap('OFF')
Do iMem = 1 To Mem.0
If Mem.iMem = "--MEMBERS--" Then Leave
End
Do iMem = iMem + 1 To Mem.0
If Left( Mem.I, 2) /= "TV" Then iterate
Call Rename
End
....
rename:
...
|
Now for the rename procedure you can do several things,
a) to generate IEBCOPY SYSIN cards to be execute after the current step finishes, of course this sysin cards should have the proper IEBCOPY with the rename parms, maybe the original member will stay as well.
b) Use any other renaming program
c) use the LMM* ISPF services to do it inside the Rexx procedure

Hi -
I wrote a REXX utility with the following capabilities:
- Renaming members based on patterns and positions of characters.
- Batch or online invocation.
- Implemnting the renamed member names in the source of other library (for example - if you rename members in PROC library, you may want to change you JCL sources, too)
- Full log capabilities.
It it quite big, so I can't put it here, but if you want it, give me your maill address and I'll send it to you.

Hi Kolusu,
I foud the method to do that with fileaid.
The following instream card worked for chaging members starting with V0P1 to N0T3
$$DD01 COPYMEM PADCHAR=X'00',CEM=NO,RLM=YES,
NEWMEMS=N0T3????,
MEMBER=(V0P1XX1,V0P1XXX2,V0P1XXX3,V0P1XXX4,V0P1XXX5,
V0P1XXX6,V0P1XXX8,V0P1XXX9)
You guided me Kolusu.. Thank you so much...
Thanks to Ofer for sending the REXX. That was an amazing tool... Three Cheers!!!
