2.8.7
NAME -- File name changing
The
NAME command allows file names and/or suffixes to be
changed
~,..om
their originally
assigned
values.
Often,
as
a
program
is
developed,
its
author decides that a file name
other than the original one would
be
more
appropriate
and
descriptive.
The
format of the command line for changing a
file's name is:
NAME <name
l~,<name
2~
This command line requires the
operator
to
enter
two
names',
The
first
'name, <name
l~,
specifies
the
current
or
origin.al name o.p
the
Tile.
The
default
suffil
"SAil
is
supplied automatically if none is given by the operator.
The
second
name~
<name
2~J
indicates the new name that is
to
be
assigned
to
the
rile
now known bq <name
·1>.
Thus.
if the
.file from the above examples,
TESTPROG, were to
be
given
a
more
desc-riptive
name,
such
as
BLAK~AC~,
the
following
command would be used:
NAME
TESTPROG,BLAKJACK
In this case,
only the .pile
name
of
the
source
file
~ould
be
changed.
Other
files with the name TEST?ROG but
with sUTrixes other than
liSA"
lJJould remain
unaffected.
The
contents
of
the

that

its name changed are also
unaffected
only the name in the directory is changed.
