RE: Retrieving unknown file name

["Jansen, Larry" <ljansen@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You could execute DSPOBJD QGPL/P21* *FILE and specify the output to *OUTFILE
in a CL program, then process that outfile in a CL program to find the most
recent P21 file.

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,
