 We are running 10.2 64 bit.

We have a routine that uses the c@system command and we issue a "del" command and it does not work.

It returns and exit code of 0 but the file is still there.  We also issue an "ren" command afterward.

This routine works just fine on 10.264 bit on server 2008.

    Hi Thomas,
    I found one other report of C$SYSTEM failing on Windows Server 2012 and working on Windows Server 2008. That was a few years ago and was version 9.2.4. In that case the C$SYSTEM call was launching a batch file and there was a network share involved. Is the target of the delete command located on a network share, or local on the server?

    Doug, thank you. It is on a network share on AWS. We have successfully used the c$delete command and works fine. We just have to change all of our conversions.

    Good morning,  

    We have no evidence of such an issue in ACUCOBOL-GT, either in 9.2 or in successive releases.
    Can you activate the runtime tracing facility , record a case where the issue occurs and then report this trace file to SupportLine?

    Please add these variable to your runtime configuration file before executing your tests:

    FILE_TRACE 9
    FILE_TRACE_FLUSH 1
    FILE_TRACE_TIMESTAMP 1

    Looking forward for these logs.
    Best Regards.
