Parameters
in-filespec[s]
Specifies the file specifications or combination of file specifications to be renamed.
out-filespec
Specifies the new name or acts as a model for the new names if it is a wildcard
specification. For example, the following command tells PIP how to rename MAC
files. The command changes the MAC extension to BAK but leaves the file names
the same:
.RENAME *.MAC *.BAK
Description
You can specify up to six input file specifications but only one output file.
Features of the RENAME Command
• The device specification must be the same for input and output; you cannot
rename a file from one device to another.
• If a file exists with the same name and file type as the output file you specify,
RT–11 deletes the existing file, unless you use the /NOREPLACE option to
prevent this.
