# RENUMBER: Change File Number

The RENUMBER function changes the number of an Adabas file.

This document covers the following topics:

- Essential Parameter

- Optional Parameter

- Example

## Essential Parameter

> FILES: Current File Number, New File Number

>   The number currently assigned to the file, and the new number to be assigned to the file. If the new number is assigned to another file, the RENUMBER function will not be performed.

>   An Adabas system file cannot be used. The file may not be security-protected, may not be coupled to another file, and may not be part of an expanded file.

## Optional Parameter

> NOUSERABEND: Termination without Abend

>   When a parameter error or a functional error occurs while this utility function is running, the utility ordinarily prints an error message and terminates with user abend 34 (with a dump) or user abend 35 (without a dump). If NOUSERABEND is specified, the utility will not abend after printing the error message. Instead, the message "utility TERMINATED DUE TO ERROR CONDITION" is displayed and the utility terminates with condition code 20.

>   Note
>   When NOUSERABEND is specified, we recommend that it be specified as the first parameter of the utility function (before all other parameters). This is necessary to ensure that its parameter error processing occurs properly.

> TEST: Test Syntax

>   The TEST parameter tests the operation syntax without actually performing the operation. Only the syntax of the specified parameters can be tested; not the validity of values and variables. See Syntax Checking with the TEST Parameter for more information on using the TEST parameter in ADADBS functions.

## Example

The file number for file 4 is to be changed to 40.

    ADADBS RENUMBER FILES=4,40
