Rename member (R)

The Rename Member function (option R) renames a member from any type of library. On the Library Utility screen to rename a member, enter an R in the OPTION field and specify a library name, member name, and the member’s new name.

If a Member List screen is used to specify a member name (option BLANK) multiple members can be renamed. Enter an R next to the member name, and specify the new name in the Rename column.

Pressing Enter renames the member. Use the END command (PF3) to cancel the process. When the member is renamed, File-AID displays the Library Utility screen with the following message in the upper-right corner: MEMBER RENAMED or the Library Utility Member List Screen with *RENAMED displayed in the RENAME column for each renamed member.

Rename PDSE V2 Member

When renaming a Version 2 PDSE member for non-load libraries only, File-AID provides you with the choice to rename all member generations or to delete all old generations (see the following figure). When renaming more than one member, the Rename PDSE V2 Member screen displays for each selected member in sequence.
