Re: How to delete an object from QDLS using CL

["Todd kidwell" <Todd.kidwell@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

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)
