Re: How to delete an object from QDLS using CL

Since you are using QDLS, you could use the DltDLO command ... e.g. (DLTDLO  
DLO(file)  FLR(directory))

If you were wanting to delete QDLS/TXT/STATEP2, you would type in the following:
     DltDLO  DLO(statep2)  Flr(Txt)

or, you could use the Del command.  Using the Del command to delete 
QDLS/TXT/STATEP2, you would type:
     Del  ObjLnk('qdls/txt/statep2')

I would personally recommend using the Del command.  It gives you greater 
flexibility over all the different file systems supported on the AS/400.

HTH,

 I'm using the following in a CL program but I need to delete the object
before it will let me copy a new version of the file. Is there a command to
do this? Thanks!
                                                       
 CPYTOIMPF  FROMFILE(STLIB/STATEP2) +                  
              TOSTMF('QDLS/TXT/STATEP2') RCDDLM(*CRLF) 
                                                       
 COPY       OBJ('QDLS/TXT/STATEP2') +                  
              TOOBJ('QDLS/TXT/STATEP2.CSV') +          
              TOCODEPAGE(*PCASCII) DTAFMT(*TEXT)
