Delete a .csv file from desktop system

[Former Member]

Hi All,

My requirement is to read the .csv file from the desktop system having the shared folder and delete the file after read successfully.

Here I can read the .csv file from the location using the function RFC_REMOTE_FILE and updated the content into internal table.

But I cant delete the file from the presentation server ( Desktop system).

Can anyone tell me how to delete the .csv file from the desktop system on different location.

Note:

I followed this link to read file:

I haven't tried it, but have a look at method FILE_DELETE of class CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES.

Hi Rob,

Thanks for your quick response.

But my requirement is to delete the file from remote desktop system in background mode.

As far as I know, the link you provided is the only way to do that.

Hi Rob,

Thanks. I solved this problem myself.

The solution to delete the file from remote system is

concatenate 'DEL' i_filename i_dirname into v_bkfile separated by space .

call function 'RFC_REMOTE_EXEC'
  destination  c_dest
  exporting
    command               = v_bkfile
  exceptions
    system_failure        = 1  MESSAGE v_ermsg
    communication_failure = 2  MESSAGE v_ermsg.

look at function group SFES, e.g. fm GUI_EXEC

Hi All,

I am also having the same requirement.

By using RFC_REMOTE_EXEC i can delete the file from bin directory of 'rfcsdk' folder on remote system.

But I have to delete the file from the folder where i want like E:\TEST\test.csv also.

Here i cant delete from the above location can anyone tell me how to solve this issue.

Hi db,

I am also faced that problem.

1. Check the connection

2. Check the path you specified

3. Check, is file on location or not

Check all the above possibilities and

In code, provide the correct directory name with file name and extension.

Success!

Hope It will work.
