Delete file from directory which

Hi ,

I want to delete files from a directory in Application server.

I have the file name as fn_13/07/2007.txt

Have a condition that files should be deleted which are less than 10 days.

Is there any function module to do this.

Thanks in Advance.

Regards,

Indhra

Also, with the method FILE_GET_ATTRIBUTES, you may be able to get the date

You can use function module EPS_DELETE_FILE to delete the file from the application server.

Use can even use the statement

delete dataset '\tmp\file.txt'.
