delete dataset '\tmp\file.txt'.

you need to specify full path here in single quotes.

Thanks & Regards

Hi,

The path that you have specified doesn't seem to be in the correct format.

You can check the file on the application server through AL11 and also the path will appear on the top. The path will appear like...

/usr/sap/temp......

Thanks & Regards,

Hi Ashnab,

first try to OPEN the dataset - this makes sure you do not have a path names problem.

The you may check with your BASIS people if you have enough rights to delete the server file.

If you omit the quotes enclosing the filename, it must be a fieldname and this field must carry the full path file name.
