Hi ABAP Gurus,

I had one requirement to develop a report inorder to list the all the files under a folder in AL11

and checks whether each and every one of the file is more than certain number of days old ( parameter again suppose if the parameter is given as 7 days,it must delete the files which are 7 days old. ) and delete them.

Please give me suggestions how can i start with it.

Thanks for your help

There will be batch program which will be run periodically to delete files on application server, the program will be scheduled by basis team. I am not sure about the program name, you can check with the basis team.
