Re: deleting empty folders in IFS

[Dennis <iseries@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, Tim:

The man-page equivalent for find in QSH is available within the QSHELL reference for your version of OS (at publib.boulder.ibm.com).

Here is one approach I don't don't like because it's messy and I'm loathe to throw away error messages.  I wrote my own RPG version:

> find.  -type d -exec rmdir {} \;

One could throw error messages to a file or to the bit bucket, of course, but I don't recommend that.
