The purpose of the MOVE command is to use DOS function call 56H to
rename a file across directories. This provides for the effective
movement of a file between directories without having to actually copy
the data. If the to and from paths are the same, this command acts
as a straight RENAME.
The Syntax of the MOVE command is:
MOVE \path\name.ext \path\name.ext
where:the first operand is the from path\name, and the second
operand is the to path\name.
There are no other options.
Restrictions:
The data is not physically moved, therefore, a 'move' can only be done
between datasets on the SAME drive.
The MOVE command is for DOS 2.0 ONLY. It is not supported by DOS 1.1.
