Problems with renaming files

[steve]

I am having big problems using REN, both at the vDos prompt and within batch files.

The command  REN BLD-VRSN.NEW BLD-VRSN.LOG does not report an error but it does not (seem to) do anything! I have tried fully qualifying the path and it makes no difference.

Has anyone else come across this?

Thanks,
Steve

No problem with REN BLD-VRSN.NEW BLD-VRSN.LOG (vDos 2018.05.01).

Hi Jos,

It looks like the datestamp for the vDos I was testing was 2018-APR-30 (filesize 947392). I don't know how I got hold of that version. My mistake. Sorry!
