| NAME Statement Details |
|
| Syntax |
| NAME oldfilename AS newfilename |
| |
| The NAME statement is similar to the DOS RENAME command. NAME can move |
| a file from one directory to another but cannot move a directory. |
| |
| The arguments oldfilename and newfilename are string expressions each |
| of which contains a file or directory name and an optional path. If |
| the path in newfilename is different from the path in oldfilename, the |
| NAME statement changes the pathname as well as renames the file as |
| indicated. |
| |
| A file named oldfilename must exist and the newfilename must not be in |
| use. Both files must be on the same drive. Using NAME with different |
| drive designations in the old and new file names produces an error |
| message that reads "Rename across disks." |
| |
| After a NAME statement, the file exists on the same disk, in the same |
| disk space, but with the new name. |
| |
| Using NAME on an open file causes a run-time error message that reads |
| "File already open." You must close an open file before renaming it. |
