Renaming a CA 2E Model

The Rename Model (YRNMMDL) command lets you change the model name. This command also updates the generation library and any library list or model values that use the model or generation library name. This command does not rename an SQL collection or change the YMHPLBA data area (location of Help text).

You can use the YRNMMDL command to rename a model as it progresses through its life cycle.

Use the YRNMMDL command to rename a model rather than the i OS Rename Library (RNMLIB) command. If you use RNMLIB, the internal model values will be inaccurate.

Note: You cannot use a library while it is being renamed.

For example, to rename a model and its generation library, enter the following and press Enter.

YRNMMDL  MDLLIB(current-model-library-name) +
   NEWMDLLIB(new-model-library-name) +
   GENLIB(current-generation-library-name) +
   NEWGENLIB(new-generation-library-name)

CA 2E sends messages as the command updates the library lists. When the model has been renamed,CA 2E sends the following message:

Model (model-library-name) renamed to (new-model-library-name).

You can also prompt this command by entering the command and pressing F4
