Function
When you rename a workpiece directory, all the workpiece files under
that directory that have the same name as the directory are renamed.
If a job list with the name of the directory exists, the instructions in that
job list are also renamed.
Comment lines remain unchanged.
Example:
Workpiece directory A.WPD is renamed B.WPD:
All files with the name A.XXX are renamed as B.XXX , i.e. the
extension is retained.
If a job list called A.JOB exists, it is renamed as B.JOB.
If this job list contains instructions of file A.XXX and these are located
in this workpiece directory, then that file is also renamed B.XXX.
Example:
If job list A.JOB contains an instruction
LOAD/Work.DIR/A.WPD/A.MPF
it is renamed as
LOAD/Work.DIR/B.WPD/B.MPF
However, if a job list contains the instruction
LOAD/MPF.DIR/A.MPF or
LOAD/Work.DIR/X.WPD/A.MPF
the files are not renamed.
Sequence of operations
The "Manage programs" softkey in the "Program" operating area must
be pressed.
Place the cursor on the workpiece directory that you want to rename.
The "Rename" dialog window opens.
Enter the new name.
