Rename all series

Do you have any suggestions for an efficient way to rename all series in a workfile?

The wildcard method does not seem to work very well. For example, if I want to add the suffix "_history" to all series:

Code: Select all

rename * *_history
This does rename the series, but it also returns an error saying "C, RESID cannot be renamed or deleted in RENAME * *_HISTORY", which causes my program to stop.

Set maximum errors to three :)

Thanks. That seems to work. I'll deactivate the logmode also so the error doesn't appear there.
