Hi Ricky
I JUST asked this exact same question of the Midrange Systems Technical Discussion <midrange-l@xxxxxxxxxxxx> list about a week ago.
The suggestion that I ended up using was the following in a CLLE program
Note - weborders is the directory that I want to clear everything out of
DCL VAR(&LSCOMMAND) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(200)
/* The web order files are now loaded to the ifs in the directory */
/* /weborders. */
/* The following will remove ALL objects from the /weborders */
/* directory to ensure a fresh start */
CHGVAR VAR(&LSCOMMAND) VALUE('rm -rf /weborders/* 2>/dev/null')
QSH CMD(&LSCOMMAND)
The ONE thing that I was warned about, and I am passing this on, is that once the command is given - too late - EVERYTHING goes and there is NO emergency brake

Subject: Delete IFS Folder and it's contents
Has anyone written a program to read an IFS folder and delete all the IFS objects including any sub-folders and their contents they would be willing to share? I would like to delete the IFS folder and everything underneath it.
