Hi Experts,

I need your help.

Just check out this piece of code.

FORM delete_files .

DATA: l_files TYPE rs37a-line,

l_cmd TYPE rs37a-line,

it_list LIKE STANDARD TABLE OF l_cmd WITH HEADER LINE.

CONCATENATE p_source '*.xls' INTO l_files.

CONCATENATE 'rm -f' l_files INTO l_cmd SEPARATED BY space.

REFRESH it_list.

CALL 'SYSTEM' ID 'COMMAND' FIELD l_cmd

ID 'TAB' FIELD it_list-sys.

IF sy-subrc = 0.

MESSAGE s018(zz).

ELSE.

MESSAGE e019(zz).

ENDIF.

ENDFORM. " DELETE_FILES

Here I am deleting all files of a directory at once ,how do I delete one file at a time .

Hi,

just a guess, try this

CALL 'SYSTEM' ID 'COMMAND' FIELD l_cmd

ID 'FLD' FIELD it_list-filename. <----- TAB changed to FLD

Hi there

'*.xls' need to be replaced with the one single file name you want to delete..

CONCATENATE p_source 'file1.xls' INTO l_files.

or change the decelration

it_list LIKE STANDARD TABLE OF l_cmd WITH HEADER LINE.

it_list LIKE line OF l_cmd.
