- The purpose of the MOVE command is to use DOS function call 56H to
- rename a file across directories. This provides for the effective
- movement of a file between directories without having to actually copy
- the data. If the to and from paths are the same, this command acts
- as a straight RENAME.
-
- The Syntax of the MOVE command is:
-
- MOVE \path\name.ext \path\name.ext
-
- where:the first operand is the from path\name, and the second
- operand is the to path\name.
- There are no other options.
-
- Restrictions:
- The data is not physically moved, therefore, a 'move' can only be done
- between datasets on the SAME drive.
-
- The MOVE command is for DOS 2.0 ONLY. It is not supported by DOS 1.1.
