How to remove a client file using BaaN IV c4.
I am using remove.local.file() function but unable to delete the file.

Quick reply would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi Ashish,

remove.local.file() wont work in BaaN 4.
In Baan4 AFAIK, there is no local file delete function,

what we can do is use run.prog() and to execute delete <filename> in command promt in case you are using windows client (can also use a .batch file)
In case of Linux client can write a shell script or simply use "rm" command to remove the local file.

You can use the "ottdllfilehand" functions in Baan IV for client file operations. This function should remove a file on the local (client) system.

function extern long remove.local.temp.file(const string path(), ref string local.path())


You should have the ability to use 'remove.local.file' if you include "ottdllbw"


long ret
#pragma used dll "ottdllbw"

ret = remove.local.file("c:\location\file.txt")
