Steve,
Some years ago we created a Deliete IFS file utility using Scott's DELTREE example.
The sub procedure that returns the date value takes an input parameter that indicates if
the file Create, Modify, or Access date should be returned, the IFS file path and returns a unix timestamp.
Here is the RPGLE code for that sub-routine:
*+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
* This gets the create/modify/access timestamp from an
* IFS object.
*
* path = (input) IFS pathname (globalized)
* datetype = (input) type of date, this should be one of
* the following:
* QP0L_ATTR_CREATE_TIME
* QP0L_ATTR_MODIFY_TIME
* QP0L_ATTR_ACCESS_TIME
* unixtime = (output) the unix timestamp corresponding
* to the datetype.
*
* returns *ON if successful
* or *OFF (with errno set) otherwise
*+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
P GetDate B
Here is the RPGLE code:
P GetDate B
D GetDate PI 1N
D path like(Qlg_Path_Name_t)
D datetype 10I 0 value
D unixtime 10U 0
D reqattr ds likeds(Qp0l_AttrTypes_List_t)
D attr ds likeds(Qp0l_Attr_Header_t)
D based(p_Attr)
D buf s 5000A
D need s 10U 0
D rtn s 10U 0
/free
// --------------------------------------------------
// Request the IFS file's date
reqattr.Number_Of_ReqAttrs = 1;
reqattr.attrTypes(1) = datetype;
rc = Qp0lGetAttr( path
: reqattr
: %addr(buf)
: %size(buf)
: need
: rtn
: 0 );
if (rc = -1);
ReportError('*DIAG');
return *OFF;
endif;
// --------------------------------------------------
// Parse attributes for the date
unixtime = *hival;
p_Attr = %addr(Buf);
dow (p_Attr <> *NULL);
if attr.Attr_ID = datetype;
unixtime = Attr.UnsData;
endif;
if (Attr.Next_Attr_Offset = 0);
p_Attr = *NULL;
else;
p_Attr = %addr(buf) + Attr.Next_Attr_Offset;
endif;
enddo;
return *ON;
/end-free

Subject: unlink IFS objects
I would like to have a program that will unlink IFS objects based on the date the object was created or last modified. Using Scotts IFS API's, p_statds = %addr(mystat); I can retrieve some stats on the files, but I only see times listed.
Can I get a date somehow that I can then use to determine if I want to keep it/unlink it?
TIA
