Re: rename function problems on NT

[Victor M Sotomayor III <vsotomayor@EV1.NET>]

You can use an #ifdef in your code to make 2 different renames for each
platform.  I assume your using the call system commdn to do this.  Try and
do your actual command that you are using on Unix on NT using Command Prompt
and look at it that way to find the problem.

#ifdef UNIX
!  rename for Unix
 mv file1.dat file2.dat
#else
#ifdef NT
!  rename for Unix
  copy file1.dat file2.dat
#end-if
#end-if

Subject: rename function problems on NT


Hi,

I have a SQR which I rename a file after I am done processing it.  When I
run the SQR in unix the rename function works great, but when I run the same
SQR on the NT machine, it does not work.

If I go to the machine that the SQR is running on and open windows explorer
and rename the file I do not have problems.

What else can I try or is there a problem using the rename function on NT?

Thanks,
Pam
