Hi
I'm trying to delete a csv file from the home directory in sas
I was using
data_null_;
rc=fdelete("~/nameoffile.csv");
run;
but it seems not working
There is any command I can use for the scope?
Solved with the following :
filename test "/r/ge.unx.sas.com/vol/vol110/u11/spndac/final_&dd&mm&yy..csv";
data _null_;
rc=fdelete('test');
put rc=;
run;
Try using the full path?
The documentation seems to expect a fileref, not the path, did you try that approach?

Hi
Tested both :
data _null_;
rc=fdelete("/r/ge.unx.sas.com/vol/vol110/u11/spndac/final_&dd&mm&yy..csv");
run;
data _null_;
ff=("/r/ge.unx.sas.com/vol/vol110/u11/spndac/final_&dd&mm&yy..csv");
rc=fdelete(ff);
run;
The files are still there
