    Datacom CADRE Community members,

    As part of our Simplify & Automate strategy, the Datacom group is pleased to announce the general availability of PTF LU13212!

    Feature Overview

    Prior to this enhancement, Datacom customers could not easily rename VSAM datasets back to their original names at the conclusion of one of Datacom's 24x7 utilities. This enhancement allows VSAM data set names (DSNs) to be retained when using modern, 24x7 tools such as ONLINE_AREA_MOVE (OAM), ONLINE_TABLE_MOVE (TM24), and Block Alter 24x7 (BA24). It adds the option OLD_DSN to the 24x7 tools and creates the DBUTLTY function RENAME24.

    Key Benefits
    This enhancement provides greater flexibility and automation with regard to naming conventions for the datasets involved in Datacom's 24x7 utilities. While this enhancement specifically addresses data set name retention with migrations to VSAM data sets, it also works with EXCP datasets and is the recommended best practice.
