Delete files from Unix Directory/Subdirectory

[Former Member]

Hi

I need to develop a pgm which deletes files from Unix directory and subdirectories

Given below is the flow chart but i am not aware of any function module or any standard sub program which does the below.

Can some send me inputs on below.

1.selection screen:

a) directory to check

b) flag to include sub-directories

2. logic:

a) select all files from UNIX into internal table

b) go through file-name table and check whether file is listed in table

c) if not - propose for deletion

3) display list with proposal of files for deletion including check box to select single file. Functions which should be available: select all, deselect all, DELETE

Hi Bhavana,

For deleting application server files, use the function module <b>EPS_DELETE_FILE</b>

[Former Member]

get all files into internal table...

loop at internal table.

try using <b>EPS_DELETE_FILE</b> FM.

endloop.

[Former Member]

use FM <b>EPS_DELETE_FILE</b>

      call function 'EPS_DELETE_FILE'
           destination                 rfc_destination
           exporting
               file_name               = remote_file
               dir_name                = remote_directory
           exceptions
               others                  = 99.

Hi All

I am looking for a code snippet which doesnt delete the file directly but does the below

1) FM to read all files from directory or subdirectory

2) Check if files are to be deleted , after checking with table , and only then make an itab with to be deleted files.

3) ALV user option to be available to either select all, deselect all, DELETE the files.

Please dont send me single FM's. Thanks in advance,
