RENAME
The RENAME command allows you to change the name of a cataloged dataset. All existing
versions of the original dataset are referenced by the new dataset name, and all dataset
characteristics remain the same.
If the dataset is a disk dataset, its VTOC entries are also renamed.
Do not rename prime datasets or offload datasets. Results are unpredictable.
