The DIRCONV statement RENAME-CATID (see "RENAME-CATID Renaming catalog IDs") can be used to rename a specific catalog ID or all catalog IDs in a directory file.
If you want to rename a specific catalog ID, you have the option of indicating whether only a specific user ID or all user IDs should be changed on this pubset.
This statement can be used in the following cases:
An SM pubset is created which consists of various pubsets that have been saved earlier with a shared directory file. All catalog IDs in this directory file must be renamed as a single shared SM pubset ID.
If the standard catalog ID of a user ID is changed, the associated files must be transferred to the new catalog ID, regardless of whether the files have been migrated or not. The information on these files, which is contained in the directory file, must be converted in order to take the change of the catalog ID into account.
If a file name or JV name, including the new catalog and user IDs, is longer than 54 characters, the following message is issued:
***FILENAME TOO LONG: $userid.filename
or
***JVNAME TOO LONG: $userid.jvname
The file name or JV name is entered in the new directory with the dummy catalog ID S. The user thus has to process these entries later by means of
//RENAME-CATID.
