Hi, Manoj:

If you have installed qsh, then start that shell, and do:
   find /dirname ! -name File2 | xargs rm -i

This will find all files NOT named File2, and prompt for removal of each.

The quicker and less safe method would be:
   find /dirname ! -name File2 | xargs rm -f

Hi All,
  I need to delete all files within the /QIBM/DIR1 other than one specific
file the name of which I know. How can I do this programmatically (CL or
RPG).
For Example within DIR1 we have say 3 files file1, file 2, & file3. I need
to retain File2 and delete the rest.
