Re: Using sql to delete files in a lib?

Ok, how about the qsh version of the command? I use something like to
delete from the ifs;
STRQSH CMD('FIND /ARCHIVE -type f -mtime +30 -exec rm +
{} \;')

...but how would I delete the files using qsh based on either 30 days after
create date or files that were created on 9/2/21?

Again, much thanks for this.

Personally I would use qsh or pase because I'm familiar with that. But if
you want to do it in sql, you could do it in two steps. A query like this
in RSS will give you a list of statements. You can copy the statements from
the results window up into the workspace, and then run all the statements.

SELECT 'drop table kevin.' concat trim(OBJNAME) concat ';' FROM
TABLE(QSYS2.OBJECT_STATISTICS('KEVIN', '*FILE'))
where date(objcreated) >= '2010-08-03';

That gave these results:

drop table kevin.AAMU;
drop table kevin.AATD;
drop table kevin.ASACHECK42;
drop table kevin.ASACHECK68;
drop table kevin.ASASMC24AL;

Which I cut and pasted up into the workspace, and ran them all with no
problems.

Hi Folks, is there any way to do this in sql?

I have files created on 9/2/21 in lib fbtemp and I want to use sql to
delete the files dated 9/2/21. How can I use sql to delete the files based
on the date or must I use qsh? I don't want to use cl if I don't have to
because it'd be easier using sql.

Thanks, Frank
