How to delete QVD file from folder

Anonymous — Mon, 21 Dec 2015 20:19:36 GMT

Dear team

I am trying to delete qvd file with below commands

Let vMaxDEL = Date(Num(Peek('MaxCOB', 0, 'MinMaxCob')), 'DDMMYYYY'); => 30092015

LET vDelMaxCOB = '..\QVDs\COB_$(vMaxDEL).qvd'; => ..\QVDs\COB_30092015.qvd

EXECUTE CMD.EXE /C del $(vDelMaxCOB); This command does not delete above file with relative path

(I already checked Script..box under user preference and Can execute under Setting@script)

Please advise

Thanks

Your relative path will be executed by the CMD.EXE, so it's unlikely that the path will be found from the working directory of CMD.EXE.

Try converting your relative path to an absolute path by using special system variable QvWorkPath:

LET vDelMaxCOB = '$(QvWorkPath)\...\QVDs\COB_$(vMaxDEL).qvd';
