Posted on Dec 05, 2006 at 10:51 AM 298 Views

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

    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.
