hello guys,
I have an assignment to do...that is to create a file, input some string, rename the file and display the contents.

well creating a file, inputing a string into the file and display the contents is working file. But I am not able to rename the file.

I have developed procedures for each of these and posting the code below.

Please see if you can help me with this.
