RMDIR statement

Purpose

Delete a disk directory (like the DOS RMDIR command).

Syntax

RMDIR path

Remarks

path is a directory path, which may include a drive specification.  RMDIR deletes the directory indicated by path.

This statement works like the DOS "RMDIR" or "RD" commands.  As with the DOS commands, the path must specify a valid, empty directory, other than the default (current) directory.  Otherwise, a run-time Error 75 occurs ("Path/file access error").

RMDIR can use Long File Names (LFNs).
