Rename a VSAM Data Set

You can rename a VSAM data set on the mainframe using the Eclipse UI through the Directory List view.

Follow these steps:

1. Open the Directory List view.
2. Right-click the VSAM data set that you want to rename and select Mainframe Data Set Utilities, Rename Data Set.
3. Type the new name into the New cluster field.

   Note: By default, the Same update to data and index option is selected. You can modify the data and index names by clearing this check box and typing the new data and index names into the New data and New index fields.

4. Click OK.

   The Confirm Rename dialog displays.

   Note: You can customize the Eclipse UI to rename data sets and members without prompting for confirmation. For more information, see Set Eclipse UI Preferences.

5. Click OK.

   The data set is renamed on the mainframe, and the Directory List view updates to reflect the new name.
