==Purpose== Change the name of a file ==Syntax== RENAME <.dbf filename1> | (<expC>) [TO] <.dbf filename2> | (<expC>) ==See Also== [[ALIAS]], [[COPY FILE]] ==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 Recital 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== <code lang="recital"> rename patrons.dbf to patron.dbf rename events.ndx event.ndx </code> ==Products== Recital Server, Recital [[Category:Documentation]] [[Category:Commands]] [[Category:Disk and File Utilities]] [[Category:Disk and File Utilities Commands]]
