Lesson 2 Renaming Files
Lesson 2 presents renaming files.
* the command to give a new name to a file: RENAME
To rename the file called DOCUMENT in your home group, first make sure
you are logged on to your home group. You must also be the creator of
the file in order to perform a file name change.
Enter:
CHGROUPReturn
Then do this:
RENAME DOCUMENT,ADOCONEReturn
NOTE Notice the punctuation. The comma ( , ) has to be there.
Use LISTFILE to check that DOCUMENT has disappeared and that a file
called ADOCONE has appeared.
LISTFILEReturn
Safeguard against duplication
Now use RENAME to change the name of the file DRAFT to ADOCONE and see
what happens when you enter:
RENAME DRAFT,ADOCONEReturn
What happened? Did you get this error message?

The file names in any group are always unique; there can be no
duplication. When the computer discovered there was a file already named
ADOCONE, it refused to change the name of DRAFT to ADOCONE.
Use LISTFILE again to verify that no change has taken place in the list
of files.
LISTFILEReturn
Now change the name of ADOCONE back to DOCUMENT.
Enter:
RENAME ADOCONE,DOCUMENTReturn
