When you use the %lsaf_move() macro to rename a file in the same folder in SAS^® Life Science Analytics Framework 5.2.x, the audit trail does not detail the file name change.

This behavior is due to the fact that, despite successful functionality, the %lsaf_move() macro is not intended to be used to rename files. Because the macro was designed to move files from one folder to another folder, the audit details for %lsaf_move() show differences for the folder, not for the file name.

If you want to rename files, you should instead use the %lsaf_rename() macro to accomplish this goal.

Although SAS^® Life Science Analytics Framework 5.3 will show the change in the file name in the audit trail when the %lsaf_move() macro is used to rename the file, it is still a best practice to use the macro that is designed for this purpose: %lsaf_rename().

When the %lsaf_move() API macro is used instead of %lsaf_rename() to rename a file, the audit trail does not detail the name change. Instead, you should use %lsaf_rename() when renaming files as it is the appropriate macro to use. %lsaf_move() is not intended to be used to rename files.
