Numerous disasterous attempts to produce a FORTRAN callable 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 perhaps .RENAM did something other than that which the I/O OPERA- TIONS MANUAL described. DEC not only answered the SPR (required information on what .RENAM did was missing), but also supplied the FORTRAN callable subroutine which we needed. Documentation on using the call to RENAME is included in the file, RENAME.MAC.
