Numerous disasterous attempts to produce a FORTRAN calla ble subroutine to RENAME a file using the .RENAM FCS routine, we sub- mitted an SPR to DEC asking why our routine did not work and if pe rhaps .RENAM did something other than that which the I/O OPERA- TIONS MA NUAL described. DEC not only answered the SPR (required information o n what .RENAM did was missing), but also supplied the FORTRAN callable sub routine which we needed. Documentation on using the call to RENAME is included in the file, RENAME.MAC.
