MOVE DOCUMENT
MOVE DOCUMENT ( srcPathname ; dstPathname )
| Parameter | Type | Description | |
|---|---|---|---|
| srcPathname | Text | → | Full pathname to existing document |
| dstPathname | Text | → | Destination pathname |
Description
The MOVE DOCUMENT command moves or renames a document.
You specify the full pathname to the document in srcPathname and the new name and/or new location for the document in dstPathname.
Warning: Using MOVE DOCUMENT, you can move a document from and to any directory on the same volume. If you want to move a document between two distinct volumes, use COPY DOCUMENT to “move” the document then delete the original copy of the document using DELETE DOCUMENT.
Example 1
The following example renames the document DocName:
MOVE DOCUMENT("C:\\FOLDER\\DocName";"C:\\FOLDER\\NewDocName")
Example 2
The following example moves and renames the document DocName:
MOVE DOCUMENT("C:\\FOLDER1\\DocName";"C:\\FOLDER2\\NewDocName")
Example 3
The following example moves the document DocName:
MOVE DOCUMENT("C:\\FOLDER1\\DocName";"C:\\FOLDER2\\DocName")
Note: In the last two examples, the destination folder "C:\\FOLDER2" must exist. The MOVE DOCUMENT command only moves a document; it does not create folders.
