Moving files with ObjectScript?

[icargill]

I'm just wondering if I'm missing something obvious...

 

I process some files, and at the end need to move them into an archive folder.  At the moment, I'm doing it with

 

  Set res=##class(%Library.File).CopyFile(FileFrom,FileTo)
  Set res=##class(%Library.File).Delete(FileFrom)

which works, but probably isn't the most efficient for large files moving to another folder on the same volume.

I was hoping for something like

 

  Set res=##class(%Library.File).MoveFile(FileFrom,FileTo)

but can't see anything listed in the class docs, etc. 

I'm on Windows, and could do a $ZF(-1,) command  I suppose, but I'd prefer to move forwards, not backwards! :-)

Use the Rename() method in the %File class.

That does it. Thanks.

Simple, but not obvious. :-(

I believe they utilize rename as this has been used in several systems for years prior. I know coming from a Linux background I picked up on this quickly.
