Totally agree with this – the operating system has options to “clean up” any files, I strongly suggest using those options and keeping BLAT as it is – a wonderful messaging service option.

Subject: SV: [blat] Delete file after sending


It would of course be technically possible to extend the Blat program in any direction depending on the actual operating system and the runtime options available.

But why do you want to make a DELETE option available from within the Blat? It is an operating system feature, indeed a part of the Disk Operating Systen, builtin Catalog Management etc depending on the actual platform.

It would be a better idea to avoid such complexi9ties inside an application program. You can, on most platforms, use a script system and build a chain och functions wiyhin this system to make the operational functionality you want, for example, the INVOKE (Blat) is one operation, DELETE (a file) is another.
It should not be a complex task to build the desired execution process architecture with several action components involved on any platform.

I would strongly discourage and warn for making a single component too complex. It is a part which can be used to build the desired runtime functionality, but every single component should be kept as simple as possible.

I wanted to follow up on this to see if it is possible to add the /delmsgfile option.



Thank you.
