The Rename Directory (QHFRNMDR) API renames a single directory. You cannot rename the directory if another job has already opened it. (When a job opens a directory with the Open Directory (QHFOPNDR) API, it specifies a lock mode. The lock mode specifies what other jobs are allowed to do to the directory while the first job has it open.)


Authorities and Locks

None.
