Delete Imported File After Successful Dataport Run

JohnieG · 2007-01-08

Hi to all,
I am trying to delete a file (which is also the dataport's file) after running an importing dataport and I am getting the following message: "You cannot use file c:\myfile.txt because it is already in use". I believe that this is because the code for deleting the file is placed on the PostDataport Trigger which is being executed while the imported file is still open. ](*,)
Is there any way that I can delete this file with code from inside the dataport? Am I doing something wrong or is this impossible?

Did you try file.close?

OnPostDataport
  BEGIN 
    CurrFile.CLOSE; 
         IF CONFIRM(Text0001,TRUE) THEN 
         ERASE(CurrDataport.FILENAME); 
  END;

You can easily Add more info like the # of Records Imported

OrderCount = Variable Type Integer
Text0001 = %1 Orders Imported / Would You Like To Delete The File?

OnPreDataport()
OrderCount := 0;   //initialize the count

OnPostDataport()
CurrFile.CLOSE;
IF CONFIRM(Text0001,TRUE,OrderCount) THEN 
ERASE(CurrDataport.FILENAME);

OnAfterImportRecord()
OrderCount := OrderCount + 1;  //counts # of records

-Thanks to Mark Brummel for helping me with this many moons ago =D>
