RE: Retrieving unknown file name

["Tracy Ball" <TBall@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You could use the DSPOBJD command and send the results to an *outfile.  Then, 
declare that file in a CL program.  You could then read that file and determine 
if there are any P21* files on the system.  Using the sub string function, you 
can then take the filename as a variable and create the necessary member.

Subject: Retrieving unknown file name


List,
    We have a need to find the name of a file and copy it to a PF as a
new member. A company will be sending us a file that will get FTPed to
QGPL as P21nnnnnnn, where nnnnnnn is the number of seconds since
01/01/1970.
    How can we determine the name of the file? I checked the forum but
CHKOBJ was as close as I found. Can I check for the existance of P21*?

    TIA,
