I work on SAS in Windows and MVS. I'd like a single method of deleting a "flat" file through SAS. I know in MVS I can use disp=(old,delete,delete), but this doesn't work for PDS members. In both Windows and MVS I should be able to issue an "X" system command, with the language to make the OS do the delete. My question is, is there anything like proc datasets, that is portable between platforms, that I can use to delete sequential files, PDS's, and Window's files?

thanks
