We have a scheduled job to age our IFS files reading a text file with entries like the following.
find /ifsdirname/backup -mtime +14 -type f -exec rm {} ;

Enter as many entries for you specfic needs

Run the following command in job scheduler.

Command :
QSH CMD’qsys.lib/qgpl.lib/qtxtsrc.file/ifsgedir.mbr’)

In CL, use the DSPFLR FLR(FolderName) TYPE(*DOC) OUTPUT(*OUTFILE) OUTFILE(FileName) command to list the files in the IFS folder,

The date field LASTRV in that file is 8A in dd/mm/yy format so, when reading through the file (RCVF) in a read loop, you’ll need to re-format that field for comparison to a previously-declared date field (15 days ago).

If the document in the record is older than your 15 days, use the DLTDLO DLO(FileId_DOCNAM) FLR(FolderName) to delete the document.

To declare the outfile in the first place, it might have been better to run the DSPFLR command from a command line beforehand, so that it exists already, making sure that you have *REPLACE in the OUTMBR parameter of the DSPFLR command in the CL program.

If you NEED the IFS list in a file you can use the RTVDIRINF command. Read help about it to know how it works.

Hi,

You can use QSHELL to do that.

Try this in a QSHELL session (STRQSH)

find /yourpath -ctime +15 -exec rm {} ;

In this example, 15 is the number of days to stay in disk. So any file on /youpath created more than 15 days ago will be removed.

Regards,
Wilson
