filePro Utility Menu - Rename a file

[Dennis Malen]

Joe ,

Thanks for the response. I will try it and test it on a smaller file. This 
file contains over 7 milllion records.

I needed a quick fix so we copied the file over to a different name and then 
created another file with the new key which included additional fields. I 
wasn't sure I had enough memory in our system, but it did. We then deleted 
the original file. We used the "df" command to make sure the system 
recognized the deleted file. It showed that the file system was the same 
size. We had to resart the system in order for it to recognize the reduced 
size after killing  this large file in filePro. Using the "df" command then 
recognized the correct size.
