The Rename Component screen lets you rename VSAM as a specified component name or all components in a cluster.

There are three variations of the VSAM Rename Component screen depending on the type of component being renamed and whether all DSNs of a cluster are to be renamed in sync.

• If the component being renamed is a cluster and the DSNs of the data and index components are to be updated in sync with the cluster, then a screen opens that lets you update the cluster name.
• If the component being renamed is a cluster and the DSNs of the data and index components are not to be updated in sync with the cluster, then a screen opens that lets you update the cluster name, the data component name, and if applicable, the index component name.
• If the component being renamed is not a cluster, a screen appears that lets the one component name be updated.

IDCAMS control cards are generated according to the parameters you typed, and then one of the following actions executes depending on the Execution Mode field in the main VSAM Utility screen:

• Invoke IDCAMS online to change the component names
• Generate and submit JCL to change the component names in batch
• Initiate an edit session using the generated JCL
