The RENAME subroutine renames a SAS data set.
The arguments to the RENAME subroutine are as follows:
is a character matrix or quoted literal that contains the name of the SAS data library.
is a character matrix or quoted literal that contains the current name of the data set.

call rename(a,b);
call rename(work,a,b);
