where is the file?

is it in application server or presentation server?

if its in appltn server use "Delete dataset"

You can use the function module - ISH_N2_DELETE_FILE_APP_SERVER,

Pass the file path and file name to it, it deletes the file.

Hi,

See the example.

DATA FNAME(60) VALUE 'myfile'.

OPEN DATASET FNAME FOR OUTPUT.

OPEN DATASET FNAME FOR INPUT.

IF SY-SUBRC = 0.

WRITE / 'File found'.

ELSE.

WRITE / 'File not found'.

ENDIF.

DELETE DATASET FNAME.

OPEN DATASET FNAME FOR INPUT.

IF SY-SUBRC = 0.

WRITE / 'File found'.

ELSE.

WRITE / 'File not found'.

ENDIF.

The output appears as follows:

File found

File not found

In this example, the file "myfile" is opened for write access as long as it does not already exist. The system finds the file when it is opened for read access. After the DELETE DATASET statement, the system can no longer find the file

Don't forget to reward i8f useful...

1) If the file in presentation server

use FM: GUI_DELETE_FILE

or

use static method: CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>FILE_DELETE.

2)If the file is in application server

use the syntax : DELETE DATASET <filename>.

Reward if it useful.
