Check file exists an then delete external file

[laxmanpai]

Hi,
I have 2 output files in Sas EG.
the path is /mnt/a.txt and
/mnt/a1.txt

But when I try to delete the file using the fileexists condition in SAS EG , I get the message "physical file does not exist" even though the file exists in that output path

Could you please let me know how to fix this issue through coding in SAS EG ?

Is mnt the mount point for the drive?

In relation to the server that is likely executing your SAS?

The servers typically do not see your local computer and you need to use complete paths from a mount or drive to be sure things are pointing at the correct location.

Please post the code you are using. Most times, when sas is complaining about the non-existence of files, those files are simply not visible for the sas session.
