Hi All,

I searched all the SDN , yet I couldn't find the answer to this question. I need a way to delete local files. Can something like this be achieved in version 4.6C ?

Thanks in advance.

You mean Unix server file then you can use DELETE Dataset filename.

Thanks

Hi,

Use below code to delete the local file.

CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>file_delete
  EXPORTING
    filename           = 'C:TEST.TXT'
  CHANGING
    rc                 = rc
  EXCEPTIONS
    file_delete_failed = 1
    cntl_error         = 2
    error_no_gui       = 3
    file_not_found     = 4
    access_denied      = 5
    unknown_error      = 6
    OTHERS             = 7.
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
  MESSAGE ID sy-msgid TYPE sy-msgty NUMBER sy-msgno
  WITH sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.
ENDIF.

Reward if this helps,
