Hai,

DATA: v_ucomm(1000) TYPE c.

PARAMETERS: p_aname TYPE salfile-longname DEFAULT 'N:\usr\sap\global\test'

v_ucomm = 'DEL'.

CONCATENATE v_ucomm p_aname INTO v_ucomm SEPARATED BY space.

CALL 'SYSTEM' ID 'COMMAND' FIELD v_ucomm.

Hi Rao,

When ever you want to delete a file from Application Server, Use the DELETE DATASET syntax.

Hope this will resolve your Query.

hi,

Try DELETE DATASET <dataset name> .

or use FM EPS_DELETE_FILE

ie;

You can use DELETE DATASET with target path.

Use statement

delete dataset '\tmp\file.txt'.

\tmp\file.txt is the file path on application server which you want to delete.

Reward points if found helpful…..

thanks and regards

good

but using DELETE DATASET u can remove file for app server.

If u want to delete the data alone then give the same name without data it will overwrite.

U can check it in AL11.

U can also use the function module - EPS_DELETE_FILE

thanks
