Thanks for answering... Is there a FM or T/C for deleting?

[JozsefSzikszai]

try Fm: EPS_DELETE_FILE

Thanks Erick, I will check it and let you know.

I check FM EPS_DELETE_FILE, but returns "DELETE_FAILED", what must be missing?

*FILE_NAME* T1C001
*DIR_NAME* /usr/sap/ETD/DEVG00/work

Thanks in advance!!!

DATA: i_physical LIKE rlgrap-filename.

• Check file exists

i_physical = "Your File Name '.

OPEN DATASET i_physical.

IF sy-subrc <> 0.

• File does not exist so we don't care

ELSE.

CLOSE DATASET i_physical.

DELETE DATASET i_physical.

IF sy-subrc <> 0.

MESSAGE e016(rp) WITH 'Problem deleting file: ' i_physical.

ELSE.

WRITE: 'File: - ',

i_physical,

' deleted successfully'.

ENDIF.

ENDIF.

Thanks karthik

I've already test code lines similar yours and work, but I need to use FM because I need to make some test on QA, and we don't want to transport a program only for this.

Thank you very much for answering

Did you check if you have the authorization to delete a file from that folder?

Also UNIX is case sensitive.

Try this FM : FMCT_DELETE_UNIXFILE
