I need to create a job to delete PFs based on create date or a variable w/in the name
There are several files (they are claim files) created on a daily basis; they have MMDD appended to the name, e.g. ECPAU1118, ECPAH1118. They would like to keep these files out there for a year! but want a 'month-end' job that will delete all files from the previous year for the upcoming month. ...

Controlling Subsystem Name
On an All User Data save procedure after all subsystems have been ended and the save is complete, what is the name of the controlling subsystem that needs to start. STRSBS SBSD(controlling-subsystem) Would it be QCTL or QINTER.

DVD Backup
I am working on an iseries 520 v5r4m0. Our tape backup is not reliable. So I would like to backup to CD or DVD. Could you tell me what hardware I need to do this? And could it be used with the current IBM backup software.
