Now I have to find a way to delete all the old files so I can recreate
them!

Try this:

QSH CMD('rm -Rf /somdir1/somedir2')

HTH,

Well I now know how I got the wrong code page - I foolishly thought
that tar would create the files in a unix-style code page but
apparently not.

THe reason the IBM instructions didn't work properly was my failure to
realize that QSH and QP2TERM aren't just two different ways of getting
to the same thing. The instructions talked about QP2TERM - but I used
QSH and apparently that doesn't correctly set the QIBM_CCSID
environment variable! It defaults to the job which of course is page
37.

Now I have to find a way to delete all the old files so I can recreate
them! For some reason the normal delete is insisting that there are
files in the directories (there aren't) and I can't get rid of the
things. I guess just deleting the files may do it - I hope so anyway
or it will be a long day!
