logging off and logging on to free up said LIST from my current
session?
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. If you execute ISPF Edit as a batch operation, you should be able to run these same commands in that environment. Certainly, you do have to carefully keep track of the cursor position so the commands will do what you expect. And, that is not always easy. But, should work if your processing is not too complex.

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