Of course it's possible to rename a file that has been written to the filesystem by a stored procedure. Depending on the operating system, the command varies. Most flavors of Unix use the "mv" command. VMS and MS-DOS use the "rename" command, although in VMS, it could be abbreviated to "rena". If you do not have ownership of the file, but still have read ability, you can copy the file to /tmp and then move it to the desired location.

But I perceive that there is more to the question than "can I rename a file", because that pretty stuff.

Best wishes,
Bambi.

Hi gurus,
