old_name
specifies the name that you want to change. The name that you specify can be the name of an existing data set or the name of an existing member of a partitioned data set.
new_name
specifies the new name to be assigned to the existing data set or member. If you are renaming or assigning an alias to a member, you can supply only the member name and omit all other levels of qualification.
ALIAS
specifies the member name supplied for new_name operand is to become an alias for the member identified by the old_name operand.

You can rename several data sets by substituting an asterisk for a qualifier in the old_name and new_name operands. The system changes all data set names that match the old name except for the qualifier corresponding to the asterisk's position.

Note: Do not use the RENAME command to create an alias for a linkage editor created load module.
