Re: PF

Peter et al.

Probably not an issue in the short term, but I like to use TYPE(*MBRLIST) for higher-level stuff like create date. The record length is just over 200 bytes, compared to over 800 for TYPE(*MBR). So there's a performance advantage, albeit probably irrelevant unless the list of files and members is huge.

I think that what you can do is prepare a CL that runs every day on a
predetermined schedule and remove the desired member from there.  For
example, you can:

1) Create a work file like:
DSPFD FILE(MyFile) TYPE(*MBR) OUTPUT(*OUTFILE) FILEATR(*PF)
OUTFILE(QTEMP/MyFileFD) OUTMBR(QFIRST)

2) You can use the combination of the three fields :MBCCEN, MBCDAT and /
or MBCTIM to determine which member should go.

3) RMVM FILE(QTEMP/MyFileFD) MBR(MemberToDelete)

Hope this can help...
