The Rename Records command opens a pathname editor, which allows you to change the common pathname parts of the selected records.
To rename HEC-DSS records:
1. Select the record or records to rename.
2. From the Edit menu, select Rename Records. The Rename Records to: dialog will open.
3. You may change one or more pathname parts or the entire record. Type the new Pathname Parts into the A:, B:, C:, D:, E:, and F: boxes. Note: You cannot change the D or E parts for time series data (use Math Functions to accomplish this).
4. For multiple records, pathname parts that are the same for all records will show up in the dialog. Where parts differ (such as having pathnames with C parts of FLOW and ELEVATION), the part will be displayed with an asterisk (*).
5. When you are finished changing the pathnames, click OK to close the Rename Records to: dialog and save your changes.
WARNING: If you change the asterisk value(s) you may loose some records, since the path names may no longer be unique.
