ALTER

The ALTER command changes the attributes of an MVS data set.

Parameters:

MFJAMS supports the following parameters. They are supported as documented in the IBM documentation unless otherwise stated below:

data-set-name
Name of the data set to be renamed. This parameter is required.
NEWNAME(data-set-name)
The new name for the data set. This parameter is required.
SHAREOPTIONS(crossregion[ crosssystem])
Abbreviation: SHR
Used when a cluster, data or index component of a cluster or alternate index can be shared among users. No default value is assumed in this system. To nullify an existing value use SHAREOPTIONS(0,0). See the SHAREOPTIONS help topic for more information.
MANAGEMENTCLASS(class)
Abbreviation: MGMTCLAS
Gives the name, 1 to 8 characters, of the management class for a data set. This parameter is required.

Comments:

Within NEWNAME, you cannot use * as a qualifier to rename a number of data sets with one command. For example, ABC.*.FILE is not permitted.
