rename

 

 

Description

The rename function changes the retrieval key of an object stored in the specified ObjectRepository {aGor}, without moving, resaving, or disturbing the stored object. Only the retrieval key, in the ObjectRepository index is renamed. If there is already a retrieval key with the new name, an error is returned.

When to use

The rename function is used to rename objects stored in an Object Repository. The same goal can be accomplished by retrieving the stored object, erasing the old copy, and resaving the object under the new retrieval key; but this would obviously require more time and resources than using the rename function.

 

Syntax

(rename aGor oldKey newKey)



Name Description AIS Types
aGorThe ObjectRepository, whose index will be altered.ObjectRepository
oldKeyThe retrieval key which is to be renamed.Symbol
newKeyThe new retrieval key.Symbol


Returns:

Returns true or an error.

 

Examples

Here are a number of links to Lambda coding examples which contain this instruction in various use cases.

Example_ObjectRepository_rename_001

This example shows the rename function change the key in a key-value pair in an Object Repository.
