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 to B.XXX , i.e. the
extension is retained.
If a job list called A.JOB exists, if is renamed to B.JOB.
If this job list contains instructions of file A.XXX located in this
workpiece directory, then that file is also renamed B.XXX.
Example:
If job list A.JOB contains an instruction
LOAD/WCS.DIR/A.WPD/A.MPF
it is renamed to
LOAD/WCS.DIR/B.WPD/B.MPF
However, if a job list contains the instruction
LOAD/MPF.DIR/A.MPF or
LOAD/WCS.DIR/X.WPD/A.MPF
the files are not renamed.
Operating sequence
