RENAME CLASS Directive |

RENAME CLASS old_name$ TO new_name

The RENAME CLASS directive is used to alter the name of a previously defined class. This functionality allows the application designer to alter an existing object class easily, without having to change programs.

Example:

> RENAME CLASS "xxx" TO "yyy" would auto-load the new class name yyy from the file xxx.pvc (if the definition does not already exist).
