RENAME Function (R)—Change a Library Member Name

Use the ELIPS RENAME function to change the name of a member on the CA Librarian library.

To rename a member from a LONG member selection list (or from a main panel), type R in the function field next to a member, type the password (if necessary) in the password field, and type the new name in the NEWNAME field.

You can rename any number of CA Librarian members on a LONG selection list at once.

In a SHORT or QUICK selection list, you must specify RENAME syntax on the command line. Commands that need a NEWNAME specification, such as RENAME and COPY, must be put entirely on the command line of the SHORT or QUICK member selection lists. You cannot split a command between the list and the command line.

To rename a member from a selection list (using the command line), use the following syntax:

RENAME memname [PSWD(pswd)] NEW(newname)

memname

Specifies the member to rename.

pswd

Specifies the password (if your site requires it).

newname

Specifies the new member name. Member names must not begin with an asterisk (*) and must not contain spaces, slashes, parentheses, or commas. The product converts lowercase letters to uppercase.
