Renaming a Data Item 

To rename a data item, use the RENAME ITEM command.  In this section, the
data item SUPPLIER in the ORDERS database is renamed.  Before renaming
the data item, it looks like this:

       Itm No. Item Name         Attrib  Security
       ------------------------------------------

       19      SUPPLIER          X16     (12,13/)

In the example below, the data item SUPPLIER is renamed VENDOR. The
DBCPLUS program displays a message confirming that the data item is
renamed.

     >rename item supplier vendor 
      Rename of data item accepted.

     >

Refer to "RENAME ITEM" in chapter 10, "DBChange Plus Commands," for a
detailed description of the command syntax and parameters.

If you want to verify that the data item has been renamed, use the REVIEW
ITEMS command.  In the following example, VENDOR is the new name of the
data item to be reviewed:

     >review items vendor 

     REVIEW ITEMS:

       Itm No. Item Name         Attrib  Security
       ------------------------------------------

       19      VENDOR            X16     (12,13/)
