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 +

create date or files that were created on 9/2/21?


You'd write a shell script, probably.

It will do date math from the current time and deletes based on comparison.

Some bash wizard can probably blurt out a one-liner that amounts to that
script.

Or you can write a Python script. If you use QSH to launch shell commands,
you could get used to Python scripting. It's easy and powerful.
