Hello,

I have some workfiles that have complicated long names and I wonder if it is possible to rename them once opened

For example I open
wfopen "All_Reports_20080331_1-4 Family Residential Net Loans and Leases.csv"

which I would like to rename to "File1". The only way of doing this that I know is by saving the file to disk with a wfsave but is there a way of renaming the workfile in memory without saving?

Thanks,

Javier

wfopen(wf=File1) ...

I am also trying to open an existing workfile and give it a new name without saving. I tried to solution given abd it opens the workfile but doesn't change the name. Here is the command in my program:

WFOPEN(WF=LAG1117) \EconomicForecasts\1117\Washington\BUILD1117

It opens BUILD1117 but does not change the name to LAG1117. Any ideas why? Thanks.

Use wfsave to give the file a new name.

Yes, I know I can change the name by saving. The original question was how to rename a workfile without saving. The solution given was "wfopen(wf=File1) ..." I tried that solution with WFOPEN(WF=LAG1117) \EconomicForecasts\1117\Washington\BUILD1117 and it did not open the workfile with the new name. Did I do something wrong?

Unfortunately you cannot.
