how to avoid that note

[Ksharp · Accepted solution]

It is not right way to use FDELETE().

data _null_;

rc=filename('x','d:\phani\data.txt');

rc=fdelete('x');

run;

[thanikondharish]

you used rc two times can you explain that?

[Ksharp]

It is nothing, you can use other variable name .like

rx=fdelete('x');

Hope that you understand the power of SAS and don't start using wildcards or macro calls for this type of processing until you understand what your doing and want the commands do. Otherwise You may have to call IT support for restores.
