Expected output after rename: 
DCMS_DEMO_new_block2_checklist_tmp_rev2.html

Now the output occurs as follows: 

prefix output:

***up   runDir(DCMS_DEMO_de_top_Block_DV_ . rev2 . '_', /home/sa/dcms_
+html_output/DCMS_DEMO/de_top/Block_DV . '/' . rev2)

suffix output:

Block_DV.config

rename output:

****rename 

/home/sa/dcms_html_output/DCMS_DEMO/de_top/Block_DV . '/' . Block_DV.c
+onfig, /home/sa/dcms_html_output/DCMS_DEMO/de_top/Block_DV . '/' . DC
+MS_DEMO_de_top_Block_DV_ . Block_DV.config
