Allen -

Try the following in your job:

!run mpex.pub.vesoft
copy @.group,=.newgroup
exit
!eoj

You can change the "copy" to "rename" if you want, so you won't have two
copies of the same files.  Also, if you don't want the access/modify
date-time stamp to change (i.e., you want the date-time stamp to remain the
same), add ";keepamdates" after the "newgroup".

We are trying to rename files from one group to another in a job.  We were
hoping to be able to do something like the copy command (copy
x.oldgroup,.newgroup)  so that we would not have to respecify the name since
we are grabing a list of files and using qedit to create the rename
commands.  MPEX seemed to be the ticket but can't quite get it to work.  Any
ideas?
Thanks
