How to delete files from application server posted in last 30 days

I have some files in application server posted through ABAP program with the below format
\.\.\.abcd_20110209_111209.csv (with date and time). I need to delete those files which was posted in last 30 days through another program. Could you plaese help me to achieve the requirement?

There are many ways you can delete/archive files in application servers.
1. Depending on the application server, usually administrators setup delete/archive programs. For e.g. if the application server is a UNIX, then the unix admin will write a script to delete/move older files. - this is the most common approach I've seen.
If you have to achieve this through ABAP then,
1. You can get the script from the server admin and then use that script to create an external system command through SM69/49 and use the function module SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE to execute it.
2. You can also look at FM EPS_DELETE_FILE and see if it fits the bill for you.
There are many other possibilities too and each one has its own pros/cons. So you'll have to choose the right one for your requirement.

Open dataset deleting file in application server

Hi All,
Im reading a text file from application server .However the below statement is failing(sy-subrc = 8)
and deleting my file
OPEN DATASET gv_file FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING UTF-8.
Please let me know what is causing the issue.
REgards,

That seems very unlikely, you should try to get more information:
* Try the messages statement:
DATA mess TYPE string.
OPEN DATASET `` FOR INPUT IN BINARY MODE MESSAGE mess.
IF sy-subrc = 8.
MESSAGE mess TYPE 'I'.
ENDIF.

How to delete the Generated files from application server(open hub)?

Information on where terminated
Termination occurred in the ABAP program "GPD6S3OE0BCVGC6L9DBNVYQARZM" - in
"START_ROUTINE".
The main program was "RSBATCH_EXECUTE_PROZESS ".
In the source code you have the termination point in line 2874
of the (Include) program "GPD6S3OE0BCVGC6L9DBNVYQARZM".
The program "GPD6S3OE0BCVGC6L9DBNVYQARZM" was started as a background job.
and when i check the dump it is point out at below code
" Populate the lookup table for 0STOR_LOC
SELECT * from /BI0/TSTOR_LOC
into CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF table L_0STOR_LOC_TEXT
FOR ALL ENTRIES IN SOURCE_PACKAGE WHERE
STOR_LOC = SOURCE_PACKAGE-STOR_LOC.
but the programme is syntactically correct only.
how to rectify the issue.

hi experts,
We have written start routine to get the storage location text and sending to File located at Application server through OPEN HUB.
here is the code written in the Transformations
In the global section
Text for 0STOR_LOC
    DATA: l_0stor_loc_text TYPE HASHED TABLE OF /bi0/tstor_loc
          WITH UNIQUE KEY stor_loc.
    DATA: l_0stor_loc_text_wa TYPE /bi0/tstor_loc.
and in the code to get the text
" Populate the lookup table for 0STOR_LOC
    *SELECT * from /BI0/TSTOR_LOC*
      into CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF table L_0STOR_LOC_TEXT
      FOR ALL ENTRIES IN SOURCE_PACKAGE WHERE
              STOR_LOC = SOURCE_PACKAGE-STOR_LOC.
im sure there is problem with the Routine only. i think i need to change the code if so please provide me the modified one.
thanks

Write a Java program using Apache POI that reads in a tab delimited file and outputs an xls file (in what they call Horrible Spread Sheet Format. Create your tab delimited file and then run your Java program using appropriate OS commands.

In all honesty, I find it hard to believe other application can't accept any other format. It's actually seems rather unreasonable to expect an ERP system to create a file in an outdated format of a desktop software. Even Excel itself can open many formats, so this just doesn't make any sense.
This.
Unless you can explain exactly why the destination must be xls and no other format is acceptable, I'm going to close the thread. What is this third party tool? Why can it only read the obsolete xls file format.
I'm going through this thread and rejecting all the responses that attempt a solution that isn't xls.
I'm surprised that the OP thought that simply saving with an xls file extension would cause some magic to happen and produce an actual Excel file.
