There is a discussion of SHFileOperation on sybase.public.powerbuilder.general . This code block shows how to set up the structure correctly, for a delete operation in this case - does it help?

type os_shfileopstruct from structure
        unsignedlong            hwnd
        unsignedlong            wfunc
        blob            pfrom
        blob            pto
        unsignedinteger         fflags
        unsignedlong            banyoperationsaborted
        unsignedlong            hnamemappings
        string          lpszprogresstitle
end type

//inside a function call:
// Arguments:    as_SourceFile - the file(s) to delete.
//               aui_flags     - file operation flags (0 - default)
//               aw_requestor  - the requesting window

os_shfileopstruct       lstr_FileOp
Integer li_rc

lstr_FileOp.hWnd                  = Handle(aw_requestor)
lstr_FileOp.wFunc                 = FO_DELETE
lstr_FileOp.pFrom                 = Blob( as_SourceFile + Space(2) )
BlobEdit( lstr_FileOp.pFrom, Len( as_sourcefile ) + 1, Char(0) )
BlobEdit( lstr_FileOp.pFrom, Len( as_sourcefile ) + 2, Char(0) )
lstr_FileOp.fFlags                = aui_flags
lstr_FileOp.hNameMappings         = 0
lstr_FileOp.lpszProgressTitle     = Space(10)

li_rc = SHFileOperationA( lstr_FileOp )
IF li_rc <> 0 THEN
        IF NOT IsNull( lstr_FileOp ) THEN
                IF lstr_FileOp.bAnyOperationsAborted = 1 THEN
                        RETURN 0
                END IF
        END IF
ELSE
        -1
END IF

RETURN 1

What is your operating system? SHFileOperation has has been replaced in Windows Vista by IFileOperation.
