I've been using:

RUN MV.HPBIN.SYS;INFO="/from_filename /to_filename"

for years now.   (note use of posix filenaming convention.  Not sure if it's required - but it works just fine)

This is a handy way of doing a 'hot install' of a program or library that's in production - w/o taking the application down.

Users that have loaded the program/library BEFORE the 'mv' command continue using the old program/library, until they exit.  (you can see who's still using the old program/library by doing a 'listf filename,9')

Users loading the program/library AFTER the 'mv' command will start using the 'new' program/library.

MUCH easier on your users than forcing everyone to quit/restart.  Only the users that NEED the fix need exit/re-enter the app.

Of course, YMMV - but it's worked well for me.
