Rename file
Place the cursor on the file name and press the "Edit" key (displayed
next to the type list), enter the new file name.
There are two ways of renaming files:
• Renaming the workpiece directory
• Renaming a directory in the workpiece directory
Rename a workpiece directory:
When you rename a workpiece directory, all the workpiece files under
that directory that have the same name as the directory are renamed.
If a job list with the name of the directory exists, the instructions in that
job list are also renamed.
Comment lines remain unchanged.
Example:
Workpiece directory A.WPD is renamed B.WPD:
All files with the name A.XXX are renamed as B.XXX, i.e. the
extension is retained.
If a job list called A.JOB exists, it is renamed as B.JOB.
If this job list contains instructions of file A.XXX and these are located
in this workpiece directory, then that file is also renamed B.XXX.
Example:
If job list A.JOB contains an instruction
LOAD/Work.DIR/A.WPD/A.MPF
it is renamed as
LOAD/Work.DIR/B.WPD/B.MPF
However, if a job list contains the instruction
LOAD/MPF.DIR/A.MPF or
LOAD/Work.DIR/X.WPD/A.MPF
the files are not renamed.
Rename a directory in the workpiece directory:
If you rename the files in the workpiece directory, all files with the
same name but a different extension are renamed.
Exception: If a job list of the same name exists in the directory, then
this one is not renamed.
