Yes, I know that I can use a FTP to do that but the company don't want use a FTP or FTPS connection to do that. This is the reason because I check if exist other way like a function to do that.

Thanks!

Hi Carlos, please check the following progam. It will delete any file that starts with "TEST" in the OUT directory of your application server. Of course you can modify for you needs.

report zrich_0001 .

data: localfile type localfile.
data: filepathname type string.
data: ifile type table of  salfldir with header line.

parameters: p_path type salfile-longname
                    default '/usr/sap/out/'.
select-options: s_file for localfile no intervals no-extension.


initialization.

  s_file-sign = 'I'.
  s_file-option = 'CP'.
  s_file-low  = 'TEST*'.
  append s_file.

start-of-selection.

  call function 'RZL_READ_DIR_LOCAL'
       exporting
            name           = p_path
       tables
            file_tbl       = ifile
       exceptions
            argument_error = 1
            not_found      = 2
            others         = 3.

  loop at ifile where name in s_file.
    concatenate p_path ifile-name into filepathname.
    delete dataset filepathname.
  endloop.
