RE: IFS (integrated file system) question

Hi John,

Need to remove links in the IFS?  This is one case where Java comes in
handy.  The Java File() class can hold a list of files (and subdirectories)
for any given directory.  Also a delete() method for removing links.  It
works slick.

Hi all,

I have a requirement to clear a series of directors after they have been
saved each night.

They are under the root/public/pcsave directories, ie numbered from 01 to
99.  For example one of the directories is /public/pcsave/05.  Now this
directory may have subdirectories underneath it.

I have used the dsplnk command to print the list of directories, copy spool
to file, and can determine the list of directoires at the numbered level
(/public/pcsave/*).

The problem occurs trying to remove the links at the /public/pcsave/*
level, if there are subdirectories.

Has anyone got around the above problem in their removing directories on a
regular basis?  If so, how?

Thanking you,

John
