Re: rename stream file within COBOL program

Adrienne,

You could always use the QCMDEXC API and string together a RNM command for 
any file in any file system.

I'm not sure what you mean by an ILE file in a library.  ILE is an 
environment and programming model, not a file type.  If you're simply 
referring to renaming a 'native' file in the QSYSLIB file system, you can 
string together a RNMOBJ command.  Documentation on these commands is 
available in under CL in the Programming section of the Information 
Center.  URL: 
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iseries/v5r3/index.jsp for V5R3 
or http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iseries/v5r2/index.jsp for 
V5R2.

The API finder is a great resource for API information  For V5R3 it's at: 
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iseries/v5r3/topic/apis/apifinder.htm 
and for V5R2 it's at: 
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iseries/v5r2/topic/apis/apifinder.htm
