_move Utility - Move File

Syntax

call "_move"{,filelist}

Description

The _move utility moves a file or files contained in filelist. The destination for the files is prompted interactively. If the filelist contains only one file, the destination can be either a file name or the name of a directory. If there is more than one file in the filelist, the destination can only be a directory. If an attempt is made to write multiple files onto a single destination file that is not a directory, the following message will be displayed:

Directory "destination path" is not available

When the destination is a directory, the original file name(s) will be preserved. If the file exists in the destination, a prompt appears to confirm the move before the file is overwritten. The original files will be deleted if the move is successful.

Note:

This utility is interactive, and cannot be called programmatically to move files. To move files programmatically, use RENAME Verb - Rename File
