Hey Joe;

   I agree that one would be tough to explain! But, if I hard code the
Directory so that it will have to be a program modification.  It would
be
Safer.  Still, a desk check, cross the t's and dot the I's coding
process before executing.

Subject: RE: Mass Delete from IFS folder

Charlie, you can (VERY carefully!) use QSH to run the "rm" command.
This
lovely little Unix command can clear a folder with ease.  Of course, it
can
also wipe out your machine (rm /QSYS.LIB/. is a bad idea).

From: Charlie Randall

I am working on developing a RPG Application that will load an IFS
folder with image files.  Then it will zip up all the files into a zip
file.  This part is working fine.  However, this will be a nightly
process and I would like to clear the folder before loading and
zipping
again.  So, is there a global command to delete all files in an IFS
folder that can be used in an RPG ILE or RPG Free Application?
Instead
of deleting them one by one.
