How to delete the data set

Former Member — Tue, 05 Jun 2007 02:42:00 GMT

HI all,

I am trying to delete the dataset . but the sy-subrc is showing as 4.

Here is the code.

CONCATENATE w_f_i wa_data-uid '.txt' INTO w_f_in.

OPEN DATASET w_f_i FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.

CLOSE DATASET w_f_i.

IF SY-SUBRC = 0.

DELETE DATASET w_f_i.

ENDIF.

ENDLOOP.

in the above code w_f_i contains the file path like :\CMR_Interface\BP\I\48058.txt.

Can anybody provide me the suggestion.

thanks in advance

hi KP,

the syntax is correct. But check whether the path from which you are trying to delete the file is correct or not .
