Hi

 

I figured it is not deleting because the rc variable is another format and I'm guessing it is unable to identify it:

I changed it now to reference the variable 'fullpath' but it still doesnt delete the files:

Is it possible to specify one of those full paths and delete it with the following code?

filename fname 'specify fullpath';
data _null_;
  rc=fdelete('fname');
  put rc=;
run;

If rc is 0, then the file has been deleted.
Could you try setting the return value of the filename function to "rc0" instead of "rc" and check if the filename function is being handled correctly?
