Hi All.

I am at my wit's end trying to get an example of code I found, to work.

I am trying to rename a file in the IFS, but it is not working.

We are on V5r4 and PTFs are up to date.

I'm confident in it's function, but I cant figure out what i'm doing wrong.

I want to use the .ifs directory '\\as400\dir1\dir2\filea.dat'
and rename it to '\\as400\dir1\dir2\fileb.dat'

Please help.
