Purpose
Change the name of a file
Syntax
RENAME <.dbf filename1> | (<expC>) [TO] <.dbf filename2> | (<expC>)
See Also
COPY FILE, COPY TABLE, RENAME TABLE
Description
The RENAME command renames <filename1> to <filename2>. Either filename can be substituted with an <expC>, enclosed in round brackets, which returns a valid filename. If <filename2> already exists, the original file is overwritten. If no file extension is present in the file name, then Lianja uses '.dbf'. You cannot rename a file that is open. You cannot rename a file onto another disk, the COPY FILE command can be used for this purpose.
Example
rename patrons.dbf to patron.dbf rename events.ndx event.ndx
