SUMMARY:
This Knowledge Base Solution applies to Progress Version 8 and higher till Progress 9.1C (included) on MS Windows.
The OS-RENAME 4GL statement converts file names to uppercase on Windows, but not on UNIX.
This has been fixed in 9.1D.
EXPLANATION:
File names had to be converted to uppercase when Progress 4GL was supported on DOS and Windows 3.1, however these old platforms are no longer supported in Version 9.
SOLUTION:
Use OS-COMMAND instead of OS-RENAME. For example,
OS-COMMAND SILENT VALUE("RENAME C:\MyPath\Doc2.txt Hello.txt").
