RE: Deleting IFS files

["Walden H. Leverich" <WaldenL@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

'rm -r' does work in the / file system, saved a lot of time when I deleted
BEA from my machine. Java environments have DEEP tree structures.

RMVDIR DIR('/a')  RMVLNK(*YES)

However I've yet to find a file system in which the RMVLNK(*YES) doesn't
generate CPFA0AC-"Request cannot be completed.  Directory contains objects."
Which basically makes this a worthless keyword.

But in all cases the directory must be empty, no? The only way I know of to
recursively delete a directory is 'rm -r' from qshell.

One way to learn, do a WRKLNK.  Try some of the options but instead of using
Enter, use F4.  Then the command will pop up.  For example 2=Edit  is EDTF
3=Copy is CPY 4=Remove is RMVLNK or RMVDIR depending on if it's a DIR or
not. ...
