Re: [sqr-users] renaming an input file?

[don.barclay@srs.gov]

Hi John,

Here's a cheese-free approach that works great for us.  We append the 
current date to the input file to prevent the interface from running a 
second time, and create a history of input files used.

HTH,
Don

let $RenameFile = '{IMPORTPREFIX}filename_' || $Date || '.txt'

let #fstatus = delete($RenameFile)
let #fstatus = rename($InputFile,$RenameFile)

If #fstatus <> 0
  Show 'Could not rename input file ' $InputFile
  Show 'to ' $RenameFile
end-if
