HI,

you can't do like this.

you have to get all files in an internal table and then delete them using the loop.

loop at itab.

delete dataset itab-filename.

endloop.

REgards,

Hi ,

you cannot delete the Files at one go using '*' and delete dataset statement. You can do programatically by calling the files in application server into internal table using the Function module SUBST_GET_FILE_LIST and then looping through the function module and delete the file one by one as Wasim has illustrated in the previous post.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

use FM gui_upload to load the files from presentation server to internal table.

Delete itab.

this deletes all the files in the internal table.
