Hi,

You should declare a local variable of TYPE I and pass it to RC. RC is nothing but a return code set by system upon successful deletion or otherwise of the file that you have specified for filename.

Some thing like the following,

DATA: lv_subrc TYPE i.

CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>file_delete
EXPORTING
filename = 'E:FOLDER1TEST1.XLS'
changing
rc = lv_subrc.

IF lv_subrc NE 0.
****Deletion failed..

ENDIF.

Hope this helps..
