sas, error messages, fdelete, delete xlsx file

[user112a2]

I am trying to delete an XLSX file on the unix server and getting error messages. Below is my code. How can I delete this file in SAS EG? I need code to do this. Below are the error messages that I am getting.

Are you sure the error is not just in response to the typo that caused you to have too long a name in the last FILENAME statement? "myfileclear" is 10 characters and filerefs (and librefs) can have a max of 8 characters.

You do not need to include keyword CLEAR to "close" a fileref.  Just issue the FILENAME statement without anything after the fileref name value.

filename myfile "<path>";
data _null_;
rc=fdelete("myfile");
run;
filename myfile clear;

No Issues running this code in SAS EG . You may have to verify the existence of the file on Path specified on the filename statement.
