File Deletion

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

i need to delete a txt file after reading it. Im using this function module

GUI_DELETE_FILE

It deletes the file. but it rerurns FAILED exception, if any one has used that function module before could you advice me rearding this.

I would really appreciate if anyone can help to solve this issue.

Thanks in advance,

Lahiru.

Just a thought. Have you tried WS_FILE_DELETE

Hope it helps.

Hi SL,

yes. i tried that. GUI_FILE_DELETE is replacement of WS_DELETE. SAP doesnt recommand WS_ function module.

Thanks a lot for your reply.

Hi again,

I know what GUI_UPLOAD requires a *.dat file

Have you tried using GUI_DELETE_FILE and deleting a .dat ?? Does this return the same error?

Good luck!

Hello,

Do like this.

• GUI_DELETE_FILE usually fails at first call >> try up to 3 times*

  ld_localfile = id_fname.
  DO 3 TIMES.
"    GUI_DELETE_FILE usually fails at first call >> try up to 3 times
    CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DELETE_FILE'
      EXPORTING
        file_name = ld_localfile
      EXCEPTIONS
        OTHERS    = 1.
    IF sy-subrc = 0.
      EXIT.
    ENDIF.
  ENDDO.
  IF sy-subrc <> 0.
    MESSAGE e154(g00) WITH id_fname.
  ENDIF.

Hope this will solve ur issue.
