RE: Mass Delete from IFS folder

Hey Joe;

   I agree that one would be tough to explain! But, if I hard code the
Directory so that it will have to be a program modification.  It would
be
Safer.  Still, a desk check, cross the t's and dot the I's coding
process before executing.

Charlie, you can (VERY carefully!) use QSH to run the "rm" command.
This
lovely little Unix command can clear a folder with ease.  Of course, it
can
also wipe out your machine (rm /QSYS.LIB/. is a bad idea).

I am working on developing a RPG Application that will load an IFS
folder with image files.  Then it will zip up all the files into a zip
file.  This part is working fine.  However, this will be a nightly
process and I would like to clear the folder before loading and

zipping

again.  So, is there a global command to delete all files in an IFS
folder that can be used in an RPG ILE or RPG Free Application?

Instead

of deleting them one by one.
