crepmaster — Wed, 16 Jul 2014 14:27:45 GMT

Hy folks i'm been reading many topics about creating and deleting a folder ( entire folder) from application file.

i successufuly create a file by using command and SM69 cmd /c mkdir,

and that's ok, what i'm unable to do is to delete a directory.

witch command should i use?

is it all possible to zip a folder?

Regards.

Hi Marco

If you are going to use commands please search about them

it depends of your OS

as i see it looks like windows(because of mkdir) so you must use rmdir

you will find on google a lot of information about this command

Marco,

it's possible to create a command,

regarding your operational system (windows, linux),

using sm49 transaction.

After this use the function module SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE

to execute the command.

Hi,

you have to delete all files in your directory before deleting the directory. Otherwise, it is not possible.

The command is: rmdir -p


CALL 'SYSTEM' ID 'COMMAND' FIELD 'rmdir -p'
                              ID 'TAB'     FIELD tabl-*sys*

Afterwards, to Zip a folder, refer to the class CL_ABAP_ZIP.
