Re: IFS (integrated file system) question

Hi John,

I had a need to do the exact same thing you talked about, deleting a
directory containing subdirectories and I could not find any way to do so
using any of the IFS commands. You can delete them easily using a mapped
network drive from your PC and windows explorer. I have no idea why IBM
doesn't allow a directory to be deleted if it contains other directories.

Thanks,

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
