Below is a sample program that makes a call to the MS OS/2 function
DosMove. This program can be compiled in Microsoft BASIC Compiler
Versions 6.00 and 6.00b for MS OS/2 and Microsoft BASIC Professional
Development System (PDS) Version 7.00 for MS OS/2.

The sample program is as follows:

' This definition is from the include file BSEDOSFL.BI
DECLARE FUNCTION DosMove%(_
                 BYVAL P1S AS INTEGER,_
                 BYVAL P1O AS INTEGER,_
                 BYVAL P2S AS INTEGER,_
                 BYVAL P2O AS INTEGER,_
                 BYVAL P3 AS LONG)

DIM reserved AS LONG

INPUT "Enter the ORIGINAL filename : ";f1$
INPUT "Enter the NEW filename : ";f2$

f1$=f1$+chr$(0)
f2$=f2$+chr$(0)

x=DosMove%(varseg(f1$),sadd(f1$),varseg(f2$),sadd(f2$),reserved)

IF (x) THEN
  Print "An error occurred.  The number is : ";x
ELSE
  Print UCASE$(f1$)" ===> " UCASE$(f2$)
END IF
