NAME Command
Purpose:
To change the name of a disk file.
Syntax:
NAME old filename AS new filename
Comments:
old filename must exist and new filename must not exist; otherwise, an error results.
After a NAME command, the file exists on the same diskette, in the same disk location, with the
new name.
Examples:
NAME "ACCTS" AS "LEDGER"
The file formerly named ACCTS will now be named LEDGER. The file content and physical
location on the diskette is unchanged.
