Hi Togehter,
I've got a problem, maybe someone had already the same one and have a solution for it.
If you want to find / copy / delete a file in the windows files system out of nav then you can do it with the internal table "File".
Unfortunately the Field "Name" supports only Filenames with max. 99 chars! The same for the field "Path" which supports max 98 chars. In my case I have to delete files in a folder, which filenames are bigger than 99 chars so I can't use the table "file" to do it as it would not find this type of files. What would be a good solution to delete such files ?

Thanks for any Ideas!

    Try 'Windows Script Host Object Model'.FileSystemObject, it's an automation type. It has a bunch of file commands that take string parameters. I've only used it in conjunction with the File data type in C/AL but it might accept parameters longer than 99 characters.

    Thanks Dester,
    your tip helped me. I used the delete Folder / create Folder functionality to delete the files in the folder.
