Example 1: Deleting a Temporary File on a Platform Running SAS

The macro DELFILE locates the platform that is running SAS and deletes the TMP file. FILEREF is a global macro variable that contains the fileref for the TMP file.

%macro delfile;
   %if  /* HP Unix */&sysscp=HP 800 or &sysscp=HP 300
   %then
      %do;
         X "rm &fileref..TMP";
      %end;
   %else %if            /* VMS */&sysscp=VMS
   %then
      %do;
          X "DELETE &fileref..TMP;*";
      %end;
   %else %if  /* DOS-LIKE PLATFORMS */&sysscp=OS2 or &sysscp=WIN
   %then
      %do;
          X "DEL &fileref..TMP";
      %end;
   %else %if  /* CMS */&sysscp=CMS
   %then
      %do;
         X "ERASE &fileref TEMP A";
      %end;
