Actually, you could omit it and either prefix it with an = (forcing it to be treated as a function call) or use it as a numeric expression (success returns 0) so the following work:

Declare Integer rename in MSVCRT.dll As rename String @oldname, String @newname
=rename(lsOld,lsNew)  && you can pass just strings and not variables since you dont need returns
IF rename(lsOld,lsNew) = 0
   *  it worked
ELSE
   * it didn't
ENDIF

>Note that you have to alias the function name because VFP already has a RENAME command.
