How to remove mutliple file members 1

[vecam]

In an old version of TAATOOL, there is a command called RMVOLDMBR. An example follows:

/* Remove saved members over 90 days old */

ADDLIBLE LIB(TAATOOL)
MONMSG MSGID(CPF0000)
TAATOOL/RMVOLDMBR FILE(BPR500MSV) RETAINDAYS(90) +
CHKDAT(*CRTDAT)


Since our system does not have this command, does anyone know of a way to do this using other code?

Thanks for any help!

You could do a DSPFD to an outfile, then read and process MBR info listed.

You could also use the QUSLMBR API which takes a bit more work but gives you a lot more info than the DSPFD way. I've got some freeware which you can have (it zips to about 1.4Mb) with some sample code which uses this API.

If you want it post your address here but use # instead of the @ character - there are some real devious b*****ds out there.
