DASD Clean Up package

     Did a similar review a couple of years ago for a former employer and 
     no longer have my notes on the subject, but here's what I remember.
     
     I looked at see you've got suggestions to look at OS Director (Hi 
     Pete) and OS Solutions. I also got info at the time from Robot (I 
     can't remember which module it was) and from others. I found most of 
     the companies by reading the ads in the various midrange magazines and 
     by checking out the vendor expo at COMMON. The mags have web sites, 
     you can also search there - try various keywords like DASD, dick, 
     storage, archive, objects, reports, etc. I got different results with 
     different keywords.
     
     Every vendor I talked to offered a free trial period, and this is 
     probably still true.
     
     In the end, my employer decided to keep the utilities I had already 
     written for them, and I updated some.  The additional functionality in 
     the commercially available utilities wasn't worth the additional cost 
     to them. However, every case is different, based on requirements, and 
     what my employer decided may not be true for you.

     Does anyone know of a DASD clean up package?  Looking for the ability 
     to 
     archive "old" objects to tape based on a particular date of the 
     customers 
     choosing.  Also need to be able to exclude libraries and gen reports 
     of 
     objects archived/deleted.  Any info would be greatly appreciated, 
     thank 
     you.
