Peter,

I couldn't find a file renaming function in either the GammaTech REXX
SuperSet or in RexxLib. There are functions in both packages for creating
filenames based on the parameters you pass on the function call, but nothing
which answers your stated need. I suspect that in both cases the presumption
was that the stated "function" was the native RENAME command. You didn't
state why you desire a function in place of a command call, but if you really
need such a function, it would be easy enough to write your own as a
procedure call.
