[Gambas-user] Re: RENAME - thanks!!

[Allen Murphy]

Thanks Ron!

You are correct, I found the announcement in the ChangeLog for version
1.9.25.  I actually do remember reading that too.  I guess I forgot.
Rename still worked up to 1.9.26, but not after.

"NEW: The RENAME/AS instruction was replaced by the MOVE/TO
instruction."

The documentation on www.gambasdoc.org and the Help still include RENAME
but not MOVE.  That will need to be updated.

Take care,
Allen

P.S.  Thanks to all who have made Gambas a great development platform!
