Delete a PDF file from a IFS path

[bivasmi]

I have the IFS path, folder name and the PDF file name. I need to lock and delete the PDF file from the IFS folder conditionally, hence how do you chain /check existence of a IFS pdf file from a path? how it can be achieved via CL/RPG programs? any pointers or old posts would be helpful as I am a newbie in IFS

I have the IFS path, folder name and the PDF file name.

Can you show us an example of what you have? Does the PDF file name change while the folder remains the same each time your program runs?

There can be some differences between a "folder" and a "directory". Do you know if this is a "folder" in the /QDLS file system? A "folder" in /QDLS might potentially involve some older restrictions.

The CL command RMVLNK will delete ifs files.

CPFA0A9 - Object not found escape message will be returned if object does not exist.
