Resolution

There is no utility, or utility function, available to rename a report in View once it has been collected.

Though it is not possible to directly rename a report in View, to rename a standard text report would involve the following: 

•  Run SARBCH "/LOAD DDNAME=... ...", so that the report can be loaded to a physical-sequential dataset. 
•  Run a job, possibly a utility (like IEBGENER), that will send a report to View, based on a match of the processing criteria (SARINIT CLSL, DEST, FORM). 
  . . Note: The job used to output the report needs to have its jobname be the Sysout ID of the report. 
• Run ADLIST (SARSAM8), to change the Archive Date/Time to those of the original report.
