SYMPTOM(s):
4GL/ABL: OS-DELETE statement silently fails to delete Read Only files.
The 4GL/ABL OS-DELETE statement fails to delete Read Only files copied by the 4GL/ABL OS-COPY statement without issuing a warning or an error.
Under Windows XP, the OS-COPY statement carries the Read Only attribute of the source file over to its destination copy.
Under Windows XP, the OS-DELETE silently fails to delete the Read Only without generating an error or a warning.
Under UNIX, the OS-COPY statement does not carry over the Read Only attribute to the copied file.
Under UNIX, the OS-DELETE statement succeeds in deleting Read Only files regardless of whether they were created by OS-COPY or not.
FACT(s) (Environment):
Windows XP
OpenEdge 10.2B
