I need to write a clean-up routine for servers that are being decommissioned. Part of this cleanup routine is cleaning up the IFS. I have looked at the RMVLNK and RMVDIR procedures but, nothing seems "all inclusive" for a removal process (aka .. like a DELTREE Command). Are there other...

I have quite a few processes where I retrieve a text file from an FTP site, use CPYFRMIMPF to get the data into a native database file, then run RPG pgms over it.
