Follow-up processing

*DELETE as a special form of follow-up processing

This character string *DELETE can be specified as follows:

• as remote follow-up processing for synchronous and asynchronous receive requests,

• as local follow-up processing for asynchronous send requests or with FTP partners.

*DELETE causes openFT itself to delete the sent file in the sending system after the termination of the FT request without it being necessary to start a batch job. However, as in the case of "genuine" follow-up processing that consists of system commands, *DELETE does not form part of the job scope. This means there is no response message indicating whether or not the file has been successfully deleted. “Genuine” follow-up processing can be additionally specified via an FTAC profile.
