CBL_RENAME_FILE

Changes the name of a file.

Syntax:

call "CBL_RENAME_FILE" using     old-filename
                                 new-filename
                       returning status-code

Parameters:

old-filename: pic x(n).
new-filename: pic x(n).
status-code: See Library Routines - Key.

On Entry:

old-filename: The file to rename. The name can contain a pathname, and is terminated by a space. If no path is given, the current directory is assumed.
This routine does not work with filenames containing wildcard characters.
new-filename: The new name, terminated by a space. If old-filename contains a pathname, this must contain the same pathname. Some operating systems do not allow you to rename a file if a file of the name in new-filename already exists

On Exit:

None

Comments:

CBL_RENAME_FILE is not stripe-aware. If you use this routine on a striped file, the routine renames the first stripe only. Therefore, use this routine on an individual stripe only and refer to the stripe by the stripe name.

You can check the success of the call by examining RETURN-CODE. See the topic Interpreting the return code as a file status code for more details.
