I haven't personally used C functions from CL - only from RPG - but off the top of my head I can't see any reason why the rename() function could not be used.

Is there a way to have a cl check the folder and if there is a file that starts with %BMOCOM then rename it to CLRBMO.TXT

Not with CL but with qsh, you can pick up the first filename and rename like this:

cd /path/in/ifs; mv `ls -1 '%BMOCOM'* |head -1` CLRBMO.TXT

Please note that in the example above the backticks are essential. These are in function like braces in mathematics: The expression within will be evaluated first and replaced by the evaluated value.

My Example is very crude because,
- it doesn't check if the destination file already exists and blindly overwrites,
- it takes only the first file (to suppress errors if multiple files with a similar name exist).

Pack this into a qsh call and it will do what you need.

(Tested successfully in qsh V4R5 :-) )
