Re: Deleting a folder from the IFS

["Albert York" <albertyork@xxxxxxxxx>]

Lower case doesn't work for attr either.

I don't have the CHGATR command either. It must have come out after V4R5.

I ahve a similar command named ATTRIB which I created which uses the Qp01SetAttr program. However it doesn't allow you to enter the new attribute it just uses X'00'. If you know the correct hex value I can modify it.

I can then write a progrm which will loop through the directory and set the attribute. It's a pain but I guess its the only way to get it done.
