| Is there any way to rename Vsam cluster along with Alternate index and Path dataset without mentioning their names in JCL ? |
It is not at all clear what you are asking, since the JCL you posted does not have any names in the JCL -- they are parameters to ADRDSSU, which is not JCL (just as SORT commands are not JCL).
From the manual (emphasis added by me):| Quote: |

>>-+--------+--------------------------------------------------><
'-SPHERE-'
SPHERE specifies that, for any VSAM cluster copied, all associated AIX® clusters and paths are to be copied. Individual names of sphere components do not need to be specified. Only the base cluster name is required. If output volumes are specified, the volumes on which the AIX clusters reside do not need to be specified. |
So assuming you are asking about the ADRDSSU parameters, the answer is that with SPHERE only the base cluster name is required.
