I have never seen this operation but I would name it "Relocate".
I don't like "Move" as it has sometime been used for a copy, if
my memory is correct the Move operation in COBOL is a copy.
(ok, I've never been -and by far- a COBOL expert but sometimes
you have something anchored in your memory...)
Pascal.
