Considerations for Renaming Physical Tables

If you need to rename a physical table within a metadata-bound library, use the DATASETS procedure or the Explorer window. If a secured table object with the new name already exists within the secured library object, access to the physical table is governed by permissions for that secured table object. If no secured table object exists with the new name, a new secured table object is created. Any direct access controls (explicit permissions and directly applied access control templates) on the secured table object with the old name are set on the new secured table object.
