You need to copy it and delete the old. Here is a sample program.



report zrich_0001.

parameters: d1 type localfile default '/usr/sap/TST/<b>OLD</b>/Data1.txt',
            d2 type localfile default '/usr/sap/TST/<b>NEW</b>/Data1.txt'.

data: itab type table of string with header line.

start-of-selection.

* Read old
  open dataset d1 for input in text mode.
  if sy-subrc = 0.
    do.
      read dataset d1 into itab.
      if sy-subrc <> 0.
        exit.
      endif.
      append itab.
    enddo.
  endif.
  close dataset d1.

* Copy to new 
  open dataset d2 for output in text mode.
  loop at itab.
    transfer itab to d2.
  endloop.
  close dataset d2.
  
* Delete the old  
  delete dataset d1.

1. You can do with programatically using data sets.

Read the file

Write into new Location

Delete the old file.

2. Create on OS level command in SM69 ( You can test the same with SM49). Basis person will help you in creating OS command.

Then use SXPG_EXECUTE_COMMAND to move the file.

Hi nitin,

1. Exactly for this purpose

i have developed an INDEPENDENT SUBROUTINE (FORM)

in which we pass

a) old file name

b) new file name

and it will rename the file

(This will work in WINDOWS Operating system)

(we can modify it very little for other OS also_

2. just copy paste in new program.

Report abc.

*----

PERFORM MYRENAME USING 'D:\CCC.TXT' 'DDD.TXT'.

*----

FORM

*----

form myrename USING oldfile newfile.

data : pm(200) type c.

concatenate '/C REN ' oldfile newfile

INTO PM separated by space.

CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_RUN'

EXPORTING

COMMAND = 'CMD'

PARAMETER = pm

CD =
IMPORTING
RETURNCODE =

endform. "myrename

regards,a
