RE: Unable to delete file from IFS

Did you change to the ORTHOFLASH directory and try rm "\\flash_test.xls"
?

Bill and Brad,. Thanks.

QSH rm worked for the one named:
\QNTC\WDSERVER2\FLASH\ORTHOFLASH\\flash_test.xls (Note the single slash

at the beginning.)

When I try to delete others like
\\QNTC\WDSERVER2\FLASH\ORTHOFLASH\\flash_test.xls (Note the double
slash
at the beginning) it gives me an error:
rm: 001-2103 Error found getting information for file or directory
\QNTC\WDSERVER2\FLASH\ORTHOFLASH\flash_test.xls. No such file or
directory. (Notice the name, single slash at the beginning)

It seems that it is actually looking for the file in the
\QNTC\WDSERVER2\FLASH\ORTHOFLASH directory. But it is not there. Any
ideas?

This worked for me when I had a similar problem:
To use QSHELL to remove the files, do the following:




1 From an operating system command line, type the following:



STRQSH



Press the Enter key.







2 To change directory to the directory containing the invalid file

name, type the following: CD mydir







3 To remove the file, type the following: RM "invalid file name"



Note: Double-quotes are required in the RM command.







4 Press F3 to end QSHELL.

This is very odd. While testing my RPG pgm (HSSF) to create a XLS

file,

I
screwed up the file name. I called the file:

\\QNTC\WDSERVER2\FLASH\ORTHOFLASH\flash_test.xls Yes, that is the

file

name, slashes and all.

Now I cannot delete this file. I have used WRKLNK Opt 4 and the error
is
'Object not found'. Opt 8 , though, show attributes, including a

size.

I
IPLed the system and tried again with the same results. I have also
tried using iNav ->File System and the error is 'The file, ...., was

not

found.'

Any suggestions? Thanks.
