IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.

Hi,

You can delete a folder in application server by using function module <b>WBMR_DELETE_APPL_FOLDER</b>

If you want to delete the txt files, get the list of txt files in the given folder and

open the file in write mode again and close it. Then, the content in txt file will be cleared and blank files will be stored.

Sailaja.

we can delete the txt file by using

DELETE DATASET <data set name> (here u can give exact path of the file where it is stored)

if sy-subrc eq 0.

write : 'file is deleted'.

else.

write : 'it is not deleted'.

endif.
