RE: How do you delete a file with a )

["Bob Cozzi" <cozzi@xxxxxxxxx>]

You can use FTP commands to delete the file, but if you're running native on
the AS/400 you probably have to embed the quotes around the name...

for example:

   dltf  qgpl/"myFile)"

The only thing to watch out for, is the upper/lower case of the file name.
When quoting the file, it is case sensitive.
