RE: Mass Delete from IFS folder

["mlazarus@xxxxxxxxxxxxx" <mlazarus@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Charlie,

 The native command RMVLNK allows a wildcard to be used, so a QSH "session"
would not be required.

Charlie, you can (VERY carefully!) use QSH to run the "rm" command.  This
lovely little Unix command can clear a folder with ease.  Of course, it can
also wipe out your machine (rm /QSYS.LIB/. is a bad idea).
