Re: Deleting a folder from the IFS

Lower case doesn't work for attr either.

I don't have the CHGATR command either. It must have come out after V4R5.

I ahve a similar command named ATTRIB which I created which uses the Qp01SetAttr program. However it doesn't allow you to enter the new attribute it just uses X'00'. If you know the correct hex value I can modify it.

I can then write a progrm which will loop through the directory and set the attribute. It's a pain but I guess its the only way to get it done.

Qshell is case sensitive. The name is 'attr' and not 'ATTR'. Type it
in lowercase. (same with 'find' and 'chmod')

If you still have trouble (maybe it didn't exist on your release?) then
you can do the same thing with the CHGATR CL command. It's going to be
more awkward though, since you'll have to type the filenames manually.

CHGATR OBJ('/path/to/file') ATR(*READONLY) VALUE(*NO)

I suppose you could use the 'find' command, but it would be horribly
awkward to use because of the quotes and asterisks in the CL command.
The 'attr' Qshell command will be much simpler.
