  • Storing system documentation on the iSeries

    I'm trying to store system documentation on my system, specifically MS Word documents on a shared drive in the IFS. This works fine, but Word always creates a hidden backup of each document which for some reason it cannot delete from the IFS. I have to exit Word, alter the backup to remove the 'Hidden' attribute and then delete it. Why can't Word tidy up after itself on IFS. I'm thinking that the directory is secured by an authorization list specifying *PUBLIC *CHANGE so authority shouldn't be a problem. Is that correct, or is there any way from the iSeries end of spotting (and removing) files with the DOS/Windows 'Hidden' attribute?Ask the Expert
