If it is externally pathed then yes, do so at the O/S level. Account based ones? I don't believe so... but there may be a RENAME.FILE command lurking out there somewhere for all I know.

You can effectively rename the file pointer with a "COPY FROM VOC <OriginalFileName>, <NewFileName> DELETING" but the physical files at a UNIX level will remain named the same - thus if you try to create the same file again you will get an error stating the files exist already.
Perhaps if you explain what your goal is there might be a better approach to solving your question.
Hashfile we have created are not upto standard naming conventions, and we want replace old names with new meaningful names, Instead of runing DSjobs and creating new hashfile.
All our hashfile are created outside project area into external directory.
in that case Craig's suggestion will work. Change your job references to the Hashed files and rename the objects from the OS (type 30 files you need to rename the directory, other static hashed files rename the file itself)
At OS level I used mv <old hashfile name> <new hashfile name>
then i set Q pointer to external directory in DS Admin and ran query but it returnded error

I'm 100% certain I posted a thank you for your answer this morning but it seems to have gone the way of the dodo! So I'll repeat my thanks, I vaguely recalled that some command like that existed but my search in the VOC didn't locate it.
