progress 4gl OpenEdge abl delete file from directory

Question

How can you delete a file from a directory using OpenEdge ABL (progress-4gl) code?

I cannot find any code samples that get close to exemplifying this problem. I know how to output to value(path), and to input from value(path), but how is a delete accomplished?

Answer 1

You use the 4GL OS-DELETE statement.

OS-DELETE value( "filename" ).
