VMS Help EXCHANGE, RENAME, Examples  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

    1.EXCHANGE> RENAME DMA0:AVERAG.OBJ MEAN

      The command in this example changes the file name of the file
      AVERAG.OBJ to MEAN.OBJ.

    2.EXCHANGE> RENAME DLA2:*.TXT *.OLD

      The command in this example renames all files with the file
      type TXT to files with the file type OLD; the file names are
      not changed.

    3.EXCHANGE> RENAME/LOG   DMA0:DATA.*   NEW
      %EXCHANGE-I-RENAMED, _DMA0:DATA.AAA renamed to _DMA0:NEW.AAA
      %EXCHANGE-I-RENAMED, _DMA0:DATA.BBB renamed to _DMA0:NEW.BBB
      %EXCHANGE-I-RENAMED, _DMA0:DATA.CCC renamed to _DMA0:NEW.CCC

      The command in this example illustrates wildcard characters in
      the input file names. The device DMA0 contains three files with
      the file name DATA; the result is the renaming of all three
      files as displayed by the /LOG qualifier.
