Use command: LIST KEEP and you can rename the dataset

Thanks much... much better than logging off, sure! If anyone can tell me
where to find out about batch manipulation, though, I'd still greatly
appreciate it.
While I have not done this for a very long time, I know you can write
REXX commands, called by ISPF Edit, that will execute from the Edit
Command Line.

Thanks much!

Again, I have not done this for a long time [about 13 years] but I
believe it should be possible.

[DIALECT HUMOR ALERT!! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!]

Reminds me of the Old Southern Joke, usually told by an Old Southern Man:
'I was walkin' thru the town t'other day an' I saw a boy, settin' on the
curb, cryin' and cryin', jes' cryin' his heart out. I asks him, 'What's
the matter, son?', an' he gits his breath, a-heavin' an' sobbin', an says
'I'm sad, Mister.' I says 'Well, ain't much I seen a boy weep like that
fer bein' happy, what're y'sad about?'

'He says 'I'm sad b'cause I cain't do what th' big boys do.'... an' I
thought about it fer a minute an' then I set m'self right down next t'him
an' started cryin', too.'
