Re: RENAME/QUEUE again

As the need popped up again:

Am I the only one who still miss a RENAME/QUEUE command ?

Is it really such a big problem to create such a functionality ?
(or is $SNDJBC a don't touch area ;-)

A Create[/Merge]/Delete Queue is surely not that much fun if you need to
rename more than a couple of queues (all with ACLs and such)...

True, but write the DCL once and you'll have it going forward. Could get a bit
hairy though, being limited to a single queue context. Makes wild-card support
rather a challenge, but doable if you're willing to make the effort.

If I wrote it, I'd likely call it QREN.COM or something unique yet succinct that
I could add to my DCL$PATH (USER$COM):

$ sh log dcl$path
"DCL$PATH" = "USER$COM:" (LNM$JOB_81217240)
= "USER$IMG:"
1 "USER$COM" = "USER$ROOT:[EXE]" (LNM$JOB_81217240)
1 "USER$IMG" = "USER$ROOT:[EXE.ALPHA]" (LNM$JOB_81217240)

USER$IMG is architecture-specific, and is determined during LOGIN.COM. On the
test-drive cluster, the [EXE.VAX, [EXE.ALPHA] and [EXE.IA64] branches are all
populated, though not quite identically. Some older bits I haven't VESTed,
AESTed or otherwise found a native image for.
