Hi,

You can use FM EPS_DELETE_FILE.

Thanks for your quick reply. But I do get this error:

Exception NO_AUTHORIZATION

Message ID: TK Message number: 621

Message:

No authorization for transferring files in Change and Transport System

Any suggestion?

I guess you are not authorized to delete the files on that Unix directory. Unless your security team gives you more authority, you can not delete that file.

Krishna, that message error do not belong to your approach.

I'm running your code without any errors, but the file stills there.

Use the abap statement

delete dataset 'usr/sap/tmp/a.txt'.

Thanks I like this approach better.

I tried the code but is not deleting the file. Do I need to Open a dataset first?

Hi,

You don't have authorization to delete the file.

Please ask BASIS/Unix admin to delete the fie or give enough authorization to delete the file.
