RE:     RE: IFS cleanup

Ya,  I wrote one.  It's part of a package I sell.  It also builds a IFS
history tracking data base that shows you sizes, owners, every thing on the
DSPLNK command.  It has inquiries that allow you to see all the 
.EXE, or .DOC or .(whatever) within a directory, or across the board.
Who owns what, etc.
And more...

It allows you to do trend things(how fast is this directory getting bigger)

Come on - do you mean to tell me that no one out there has a simple ILE
RPG program to read through an IFS directory and retrieve the attributes
of each file, such as date?  Some one must have something like this.
How do you cleanup old IFS files?
