-u MsgID

• Specify the -y parameter, so that the existing file is overwritten.

Used to rename, or to relocate a file. The file is assigned the name specified in FileName. A fully qualified file name can be specified to relocate the file. If the file name, or path, contains embedded spaces, it must be specified in double quotes. One file can be specified only, and we cannot use wildcard characters.
