Thanks for stopping by to read my question...
We're converting from VMS FOCUS to WEBFOCUS (NT server). Some of our longer FEXes (using APP HOLD) create many temporary .mas, .foc and .ftm files. These files are used to create the final file which usually is FTP'd to another server.
When the FEX is done, we are writing a LOT of code to delete the no longer needed temporary .mas, .foc and .ftm files.
PLEASE...is there an APP UNHOLD that will wipe out any temp files created by a particular FEX as it closes?
We don't want to just leave them out there.
We don't want to Del *.* because another process might have written something out there in the meantime.
Help GRATEFULLY received. Thanks for your time.
