Re: IFS distress...

[Scott Klement <klemscot@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I know you've already gotten answers to this, but I thought I'd post the 
RPG solution, in case its useful to anyone.   (This code is V3R2 
compatible, but should work on any later release)

D unlink          PR            10I 0 ExtProc('unlink')
D   path                          *   Value

D rmdir           PR            10I 0 ExtProc('rmdir')
D   path                          *   value   

D killme          S             50A

C* Delete the file
c                   eval      killme = '/\timtest/qs1testfile.csv' + x'00'
c                   callp     unlink(%addr(killme))

C* Delete the directory
c                   eval      killme = '/\timtest' + x'00'
c                   callp     rmdir(%addr(killme))

c                   eval      *inlr = *on
