Rename doesn't work

[putmann]

This is embarrassing, but I'm trying a simple rename and it doesn't work. Using version 7.4. Any hints?

Code: Select all

Let>MF_RENAME=1
MoveFile>\\n2k3wb972ftp01\ftproot\FTPholly\CashFR.txt,\\nasdata02\sharedata\finpcp\Archive\C\Cash\FR Cash files\CashFR2.txt
Let>MF_RENAME=0

Just a guess but it would seem to me that using "MF_RENAME" implies the file remains in its current folder. Set the first "MF_RENAME" to zero rather than one and see if the code works.

I've recently been struggling with renaming and moving too. From my testing it doesn't appear possible to move and rename in one step. Also there are complications related to over-writing existing files which I have not been able to resolve without a adding a prior step to delete them. I think you'll have to break it down to a move plus a rename and you'll probably have to delete any existing destination file first - but that's just my opinion.

7.4 eh? Still old 9.1 here

This is a move not a rename. The destination is different. Remove the Let>MF_RENAME=1 line, or set it to zero.
