Tom -
Use a system command - on XP it would be a DOS del command through a
pipe, an X command, or %sysexec (not tested but probably pretty close):
filename ERASEIT pipe "del """c:\path\my file.txt""";
data _null_;
infile ERASEIT;
run;
options noxwait;
x 'del "c:\path\my file.txt"';
options noxwait;
%sysexec del "c:\path\my file.txt";
RTM to find out more....
